pose_Z34 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 It's official used a heat gun and let the car run in a warm garage, and the lock is still bound up!! Any suggestions? Quote
AL Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 i no this sounds dumb but have you tried manually pushing the lock towards unlock and then opened the door? I had it happen one time where thats what i had to do Quote
pose_Z34 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Yeah, it binds doing it manually as well. Quote
1990lumina Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 And you're sure it's warmed up enough to work? Quote
pose_Z34 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 It wasn't weather related, turns out the locking mechanism is out of adjustment. After prying the broken outside handle assembly off, I moved the linkage and everything worked like a charm. Now I just have to wait for the new handle. Thanks as always Quote
pose_Z34 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Okay, Installed the new handle and it works like a charm. The issue I have is with the lock. I'll try the lock about 20-30 times with the door open and it has full range of motion to lock and unlock. After I shut the door, I try it another 20-30 times and something keeps the lock from moving all the way to unlock the door. Any ideas? Quote
