Just solved this today.. thought it might be handy for someone else one day.


The issue was that the cable wasn't attached properly so when the interior handle was pulled it didn't have enough leverage to unlock the latch.


Followed the workshop manual to remove the door trim and latch mechanism. Those instructions are ok but here's some photos to make it clearer.


I pulled the whole latch out to inspect it all but that wasn't necessary. The little green thing wasn't seated into the door card. When you reassemble it's easy to see how it could be forgotten or not clicked it properly.. it should actually click into place.
