After several attempt to repair, I came up with this solution. So instead of buying a new handle set, why don't you try this...it might applicable to your vehicle. Enjoy the video and thanks for watching
i changed the handle on my friends 2001 kia sportage,closed the door,now i can't get it too open and it is unlocked. Does anyone know how i can get it opened again. niether outside handle nor inside handle will open it so it's stuck closed. don't know what happened.
