crazyd Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 I have Book 1 & 2 for my '92 that refer to book 3 for these two things. I need the page on the exploded view of the coupe door outer lock assembly, and also the section on replacing the inner door opening spring. Thanks, D Quote
Schurkey Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 Am I wrong? I thought Book 3 was for E-85 fuelling. Quote
mfewtrail Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 From my '90 manual, but same thing. This was the only one I could find in there. Quote
mfewtrail Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 I missed the part about the inner door spring since I'm a notorious post skimmer. I'll post anything I find on it later. Quote
crazyd Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks Matt, just what I needed. I was trying to figure out what part #7 was, and in what order it was supposed to be installed with the lock cylinder. Look forward to the hinge spring info if you can find it. Quote
crazyd Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 Am I wrong? I thought Book 3 was for E-85 fuelling. That'd be the first I'd heard of it... Did they even know what E85 was back in the 80's & early 90's? On my '92 it just calls book 3 "Body". Quote
crazyd Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Posted June 3, 2013 OK, interesting. So, what prompted this was that my driver's door has never stayed open properly - it just falls shut like the hinge spring isn't even there. They refer to this in the manual as the "door hold-open feature". So, apparently these cars don't even have a hinge spring, but a "check link" instead? Anybody ever messed with this? Quote

Yes, replacing the check-link is not bad at all and you can get the part from a 4 door or 2 door. Quote
crazyd Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Posted June 9, 2013 Yes, replacing the check-link is not bad at all and you can get the part from a 4 door or 2 door. Not only that, turns out you can get one from either side of the car as well. I did it today and got one from the passenger side of a '92 coupe. Other W's had other designs, a Lumina I saw had a hinge spring and a Buick had something else entirely. Anyway, got the replacement installed and it works perfectly. My old one came out in three fragments, was busted up pretty badly. Installing the check-link: easy. Taking the door apart and putting it back together to install it: hard. Quote

crazyd Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Posted June 12, 2013 Hey Matt, can you also post the pages on the sunroof and the power door locks? Quote
mfewtrail Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 Hey Matt, can you also post the pages on the sunroof and the power door locks? Just now saw this. I'll get those for you later today. Quote
mfewtrail Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 http://s2.photobucket.com/user/mfewtrail/library/GP_ServiceManual?sort=2&page=1 Most of it should be there. Quote
