Why is the ford fiesta door latch stuck open?

If Your Ford Fiesta door latch is stuck open access the panel near the latch and unscrew the screws to free the door latch, and pry apart the teeth so they catch properly upon closure. But how does a door latch work exactly. Well a rod connects the actuator to the latch, and another rod connects the latch to the knob that sticks up out of the top of the door. When the actuator moves the latch up, it connects the outside door handle to the opening mechanism. While any serious motor vehicle accident poses a risk of causing severe injury, this danger is magnified when a vehicle occupant is ejected. There is a much higher probability of suffering catastrophic injuries if someone is ejected from a car, truck, or SUV.
