Nissan Micra Spirita 2006 1.2 5dr - Passenger door won't open from the inside - yakuzakitty
I just bought a second hand Nissan Micra Spirita (2006) and the passenger door in the front will not open from the inside. It's almost like there's a child lock on the door but I couldn't see anything obvious. It opens fine from the outside. It's not a dealbreaker but it's kind of annoying.

Does anyone have any ideas about what this might be and how I can sort it out?

It sounds like the connecting wire/rod from the internal handle to the door mechanism has come loose or snapped. Basically, it needs the internal door card taking off, and having a look.

A Haynes manual will tell you how to take the door card off without causing damage. Job will probably be pretty easy to do.
