300SDL door lock assembly problem
Hi all,
My driver's side door lock cylinder has not worked since I bought the car in 2006. Lifting the knob and pushing it down did work, and my central locking system was fine. I would just use the trunk or the passenger side lock. I finally got around to ordering a $330 door handle and followed "300sd2000"'s directions on how to remove a door handle without being able to turn the key... http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?p=578091 So here is my problem.. I may have somehow damaged my door lock assembly, the actual internals that the handle attaches to. I am no longer able to get the mechanism to move down far enough for the interior-door plunger to recess fully, nor for it to actually cause the vacuum actuator to close. Any suggestions? This part costs $475! It doesnt look like I bent anything... |

I guess its good when you can answer your own question...
The rocker inside the cavity that goes around the door check was not in the proper position for the vacuum activator arm to move 100%.. Basically, you can't lock the door unless its shut... |
