I've gone though this about a hundred times now revisiting it every few days and I still can't get it to function.
When I disconnect the cable from the catch it moves freely when you pull the handle in the car. But when connected no amount of pulling will release the catch. The catch is well lubed and moves freely when the springs are removed and can be activated by hand when the springs are installed - although it does require a strong thumb to move the lever. Any ideas welcome before I do something I regret (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-6621-1557666773.1.jpg) |

AFAIK there are two types. One with two springs and one with one spring. The second spring pulls the cable back after pulling the knob. Also lubing the cable was a big help in getting the cable to go back after being pulled. Make sure there are no kinks in the sheath.
