Problems gettin' in

Sometimes I can unlock the driver's door with the key, sometimes if I hold pressure on the key and push the button at the same time it will unlock. Tonight the power locks on the passenger door wouldn't let me in, had to reach across the seat and pull the handle to unlock it. Sound like the linkage or the lock?

Thanks!!!!

If you have power locks, It sounds like an actuator is seizing up on you. Common problem!

Would the actuator make it difficult to unlock it with the key?

Cowboy, you've got a dirty mind,

















I thought the same thing as I was typing it.

My mind is like a truck. Whats the fun in keeping it clean?

Also yeah they would, cause if there is something stuck inside them then it would make them hard to move. But you may take off your door panel, and oil the stuff up, my stuff got dried out and I snapped my inside door handle.

Truck must have known I was talking about doing surgery on her door, haven't had the first problem with it today. Key opened it everytime and so did the power locks. That's a female for ya'.
