I have a 99 Sport 4 wheel drive.
The driver's side actuator works but will not push the lock button all the way up. It will lock it just fine. Something broke in the handle, its loose, and it feels like something is blocking the button from coming up. The service tech said it was the actuator, but I don't think so.
I don't want to pay for an actuator if it doesn't need one. I can open the door from the inside, it pops the lock button right up. The actuator pushes hard against the mechanism inside, but you can tell that the lock button is "in a bind" as it tries to come up.
I went back to another tech and they are going to open the door panel and see whats keeping the button from unlocking. I can't take it in until this Friday.
Any ideas on what to expect and how much it might cost?
Thanks, Chuckwagon
