Drive Side and Trunk Lock Not Working
It was only a matter of time before I posted this.
At first my driver's side would only lock 1/2 of the time when the auto or keyless entry was used, and all the time with the key. Then after about 1 1/2 weeks (go figure), the lock went all together. I used the key in the door, turned it to the left and the right, then the key would move but the rod wouldn't go up or down.
When keyless or auto is used now, the little rod goes up and down half of the time, but the door doesn't actually lock (leading to a lot of car alarms). I can put the key in the hole, but can't even turn it left or right anymore. I recall on my old Explorer, a similar thing happened where the cheap plastic piece inside broke off.
The trunk is a different story. The only way to lock or ulock the trunk is with a key (98's don't have the rod in the back). I can hear the motor go, but nothing happens. If the electric lock is used, the door doen't lock, but the car alarm still responds to the unlocked door being opened
What y'all think?
