Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and new to my 06 ford ranger. I was hoping I could get a hand here. Both rear doors do not open, I have searched frantically for solutions on how to manually open the doors. So far I have removed the door trim on the inside, pulled the rubber plug out, sprayed copious amounts of PB blaster in there, and tried to move every tab possible with no success. I read there is one tab that needs to be lifted up for them to open? I can't seem to find the proper one, or mine might be seized badly. Could somebody please clarify which tab needs to be pushed, or if this is the right procedure? My cables are all in good shape and move when the handle is pulled, top latch works perfect, bottom is seized. Thanks for the help!

So, both doors are acting the same?

If it's just that latch, spray that bitch, have somebody push from outside and open that shit. ;-)

Thanks, yea it's both doors. Seems like a common problem with these trucks. I am planning on pushing them hard and hopefully opening them, not too sure if the latch is in the "open" position though, so I don't want to force them and possibly break something.

Just keep working it. Don't force it
