When I purchased my 9C1, I had the same problem. All I had to do was remove the rear interior door panels and re-connect the latch mechanism to the handle. It was just disconnected and taped to the door. Piece of cake, you should have no trouble.

Doors: Open rear doors from the outside, look on the door itself near the latch, and flip the little black lever. Now it will open from the inside.

Windows: On drivers door, flip unlock switch.

 

Looks like your 9C1 has SEO option 6B2-Rear Door Inoperative.

Follow Pistonhead's instructions to reconect the latch inside the rear doors..and yer good to go..

 

what about the obvious... child door locks????

Some departments may have used them alone, but it was an option on the 9c1s to have it disconnected altogether. But it is a good idea to try the safety locks first before ripping open your door.

If its not, Id recommend you fix it ASAP, otherwise you'll have to deal with every passenger who ever rides in the back *insisting* that its just the child safety locks and that you have no idea about how your own car works like they do to me

Save yourself the anguish and do what Pistonhead suggests. One of these days I'll get around to doing the same to mine.

Dead serious. I'm not the sharpest knife... but I can't be the only one out there who hadn't noticed those nondescript little levers. Never underestimate the ignorance of people like me. - Jim

 

Sometimes I wonder which I like more on this forum---the humor or the technical assistance

Thanks for your help Pistonhead. I followed your instructions and it went smooth. I now have fully functional back doors. The parts were taped to the inside just like you said. Thanks once again!!!
