I’m trapped inside my Chrysler PT Cruiser. I don’t understand the instructions from the manual. The door is permanently locked. I don’t know how to open the door on the driver’s side to get out. I keep having to roll down the window, reach for the outside handle, and let myself out.
Sounds like the inside handle is disconnected. Remove the door panel and inspect the handle linkage to the latch, there could be a broken clip.
