Drivers door lock rod - sticking
« on: 09 August 2005, 13:46 »
Any one ever had this?

I must have bent it in some way when i was fitting the new handles! it sticks sometimes and will not lock/unlock via the alarm, when i try the key i can feel resistance and then it works! it's definately the rod i think, because before i get out of the car i can just pull the pin lock toards me and it locks, everytime, but then it will not unlock unless i use the key?

So any ideas on how to fix this? i can't really see the workings inside?

I think your just gonna have to take y door card off and have a look mate. See if you can figure out whats obstructing it.

Cheers, just take general pics towards the locks and the rod  that goes vertical!

I can compare then, maybe there is a clip holder or something that has fallen off :)

If it's bent dude you'll spend for ever trying to straighten it out get to the stealership and buy a new bit mine was an earth shattering 97p and 20p for the clip.  Any questions ask me as before I bought a new bit I was fixing mine every 3-4 days. :D

 I got the locking rods and clips n stuff and just redid it all U can do it but it's feckin fiddly and you cant see jack unless you take the catch off. 2 big allen bolts and the handle again lol you can almost see and get ur fingers in :D
