Re: Door Lock Solenoids



If the door lock-unlock is not easy it usually means either the door 
is not closing properly (both front and rear locks not engaged in the 
second locking position) or the linkage is out of adjustment (probably 
from being forced because the door was not properly closed). Close the 
door slowly and you should hear both the front and rear locks click 
twice as you close the door and the anchor pins engages the locks. If 
you don't you have to adjust the anchor pin for the lock that is only 
in it's first locking position so that it gets to the second position 
at the same time as the other lock in the door. You should not have to 
slam the door to do this. This is a tricky adjustment because it is 
hard to see and the door closes in an arc. You may also have to remove 
some of the fiberglass to get more room to adjust the anchor pin. 
After doing this you may still need to adjust the linkage inside the 
door and lubricate. BE CAREFUL INSIDE THE DOOR!!! There are a lot of 
sharp edges and they will cut you up and you won't even feel it. Put 
duct tape over the sharp edges before you begin.

it to work? I didnt think that was "normal" or working as

not Unlock the drivers side door, i figured (after inspection of the 
door mechanics) that the solenoid is worn out and needing to be 
replaced...when engaged it barely moved almost like the arm moves out
