**conzky** · July 31st, 2003 04:30 PM

I need your help good people of Tsikot.

My ride is a 96 Mits Lancer Glxi;

My problem is that my Right-Front door wont open from inside or from outside. Im planning to be bring it to the casa but i want to save my money for the repair so, i was thinking to DIY.

What seems to be the problem?Suggestions pls!

BTW, i come from La Union.

Thanks in advance.

sir may power door locks po ba ang kotse nyo? kung meron baka di na po gumagana yung actuator, di na po tumataas or gumagalaw yung lock...

kung wala, di rin po ba ito bumubukas kahit naka unlock or nakataas ang lock ng pinto?

**conzky** · July 31st, 2003 04:50 PM

sir chieffy, meron nga power door lock ang ride ko.but, the thing is, when i unlock the driver's side door, the lock buttons for all the door pop up.

cant you open the lock? or it could be unlock and cant open the doors thru handles?

**JET_7** · July 31st, 2003 05:11 PM

either..

sirang actuator..

kung hindi ka naman power lock..

nabali yung clip mismo ng door handle..

kaya mong DIY yan, better remove the door trim muna bago ka bumili ng piyesa.

ay, sori di ko kaagad nabasa..

meron ka palang power lock..

natangal lang siguro pagkakaturnilyo (sana)

worse is nabali mismo kanikabitan ng mga hinges.

okay pa naman pala actuator niyo sir...para malaman ang problema, wala na pong ibang paraaan iyan kundi buksan ang door panel nyo(magagawa lang kapag nabuksan na pinto nyo) at baka natanggal lang yung mga rod or kailangan lang ng lubrication yung locking mechanism...

sir subukan nyong hilahin pataas yung lock and while doing this buksan nyo yung pinto...ito kasi ginagawa ko sa sirang actuator ng Honda(EK) ko...in my case, kailangan lang ako magpalit ng actuator...corroded na kasi yung motor...

have you tried using your keys?

**Rediesel** · July 31st, 2003 06:21 PM

tama yung suggestion ni Sir Chieffy, I just DIY'ed mine ganyan din ung problema right after the big downpour last Sunday.

kung di mo kayang mabuksan ang pinto, you might have to remove the right front seat first para magain access sa door panel cover. Remove the cover (there is usually 2 screws sa handle bar and one on the door latch inside and all the sides are usually snap-on). Dahan-dahanin mo ang pag alis ng snap-on ng panel (I use a long screw driver to aid me).

If you manage to get the panel out, madali na ang access sa door lock mechanism. Its all mechanical...the only electrical part would be the power windows (if it has) and the power lock solenoid.

goodluck
