disco95 · Nov 24, 2009

any one got pics n diagrams of door lock mechanism, mine not open with exterior and interior latch, took off door card can open if i push a part of lock forwaed then pull latch seems to make a lever push up on lock face, see spring which looks ok as done driver door with spring kit, so thinking must be another spring i cant see or levers worn, any help welcome, thnks.

It does sound like the spring, but it could also be a linkage has come off/loose some were.
If it was the spring though you would be able to lift the button and open it. If you can't without taking the dor card off then i would say it's one of the linkages.

thanks pete do you know if there are more than one spring.also worked out that if i put key in door and turn and hold key i can then get door open by pulling on exterior latch, need some pics or diagram to show what lock assembly should look like? any ideas ta

there is another spring, but i've never known it to give trouble. You might be better of taking the latch out. You'll see both springs, they are similar. If by turning the key you can open the door, it could be the usual spring, it doesn't have to be broken to be at fault. Mine was in one piece but i replaced it anyway and it sorted the problem. I don't have any pics etc, but the tailgate if the easiest to do.
