We also tucked the wiring under the dash a bit better.

There is a link between the inside door handle and the latch -- it has probably come loose. Pull the inside door panel and check it out. TAZ

That's the thing. Pappaw did a few years ago and it was all hooked up just fine.

OK -- time to replace it ... those latches are common to many GM cars. Check with some of the suppliers listed on the RH side of the main page. Not to hard to change -- three screws and a few clips. TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Plan on doing it soon. It's been that way since it came home from storage in 2007, but the car's never been on the road long enough to fix it.
