The passenger side door lock wont lock. It doesnt work with the key or it wont go down if you push it down. Someohne told me the mechanism is probably seized. I dont care about the power locks as long as i could close them manually, that will be ok. How do I go about Doing this?

had the same problem with my car but with both pass and drivers side.. just "pop" the door pannels off (need to unscrew the arm rests take the door handle bezel loose, and then you pull the pop pins out) and the motor is on the bottom of the inside of the door. Just push down and torwards the front of the car and the motor should pop of its holder. Then pull it loose from the rod and done.. good to go.


It will take some strength and tuging to get the motors out. there are rubber bushings on the lock that "pop" into the plastic holder.. you'll see what i mean when you get down to it.
