I have a 1988 touring sedan with the same problem. I have lived
with it for some time now. I recently took it to a body shop to
have it repaired. They opened up the door panel and lubricated
the door latch. It worked just fine for about a week and now
won't open again. They are telling me now that I have to replace
the door latch. Of course, I haven't been able to locate one. I just
found out that the same latch was used in all 87 and 88 Olds,
Pontiacs, Buicks and Cadillacs. My next stop is a wrecking yard.
On the bright side, I have never owned a car that I have enjoyed
as much as this or kept one as long. It has been dependable and
trouble free for over 212,000 miles. I finally put an alternater on
it, but everything else is all original and still works.
