Did not find answer on "search". The front door has to be slammed to get the door to shut. The now yellow plastic (?) insert in the receptor portion on the frame is worn and partially gone. Can I get a new insert or do I have to replace the entire lock on frame if the insert is the problem?

I believe I have slammed the door shut too many times as my vacumn locks are not now responding on the other doors. I suspect I have jarred something loose in the door. I am surprised I haven't shattered the window glass...yet.

The outside handle on the left rear door does not open the door. Have to use handle on inside. Is this an easy fix?

After 300,000 + miles, this car is begining to fall apart...but the engine keeps trucking.

Any additional info on my prior posts regarding the lack of fan, pushbutton response and a/c compressor would be appreciated. Not the fuse box as I have juice on both sides of replaced fuse. Old 25 amp was still good, but replaced. After examing wiring under fuse block, I suspect push button control. Repair (resolder) or re place with used or new?
