Door lock issue, Goes in lock, but open agin the next second.

[c-w203]

After been working with a stuck power window yesterday on my 88 convertible, I got a problem with the door lock. Door lock was working just fine before I started with the window issue, but I had to remove the door trim to access window motor.

Now, I can`t look the door from inside (can`t move the knob at all). If I use the key/power lock from outside, door goes in lock, but pops open again after a second...

Thanks for all help

Hi ..it is possible that your door handle micro switch ,on picture number 4, is not clipped into the door handle.


Also look if the solenoid does not have disconnected the arm..with the boll joint on end ,number 6

Try this first. Remove the top door trim & see if the lock works w/out the trim. If it works, you have to find the proper alignment of the top door trim- you do this via the two screws at the end of the trim (near the hinges).

Make sure the vertical lock rod can move freely up & down. Adjust & check.

This happened to me while working on a window problem too.

I tried to disconnect the lever from the locking swivel, and the swiwel part are working ust fine.

Then I disconneced the arm on the locking solenoid and that part are also working just fine.

So then I`m left with the latch assembly itself.
I`m not able to move it at all into lock possition with the solenoid and indoor locking swivel disconnected, it`s like its mecanically stucked. Any ideas that kan help me out.

(by the way, it`s hard to access and work with the lock assembly..)
