OK, my power door lock went out. Thanks GM for putting PL and latches in a one peice unit

I pulled it out to test it and see if it was a loose connection etc.... well, at first, I couldn't even open the door at all with the key OR remote unlock. So I figured it was mechanical. Anyway, I test it with no load and see that everything actuates the way it should, I put it back in a test it. Doesn't work well with the rods hooked up. Go back inside to call the stealership and order a new one at $115.00. Go back outside and my neighbor did me a favor by shutting my door. He was driving off and hollered you left your door open so I closed it for you since the house near by was getting some work done and a bunch of people were over there. Favor!?!?!?! Now my ******* door won't open at all. I have reached insde and hit, poked, pulled, yelled at everything I can get to on the latch. No DICE!!!! door is closed and WILL NOT open with the latch. Anyway I can jimmy it from inside the door????

 

Well....nevermind. I got it out. Found a little hole I was able to jamp a small screwdriver in and get it to unlatch. Apparantly, the metal pivot that the rods connect to was stripped from the inside. I found a small access that was exposed that was the cog for the latch spring. I'll change my sig to "Thieves...they can get in, but they can't get out!!"

 

 

well, glad you go the door open again.
