Rear Door Won’t Unlock
Hey all, I’m a new member, but I really hope someone can help with this as I’ve searched high and low for an answer and couldn’t find one, even the garage, who carried out the MOT and failed it, weren’t sure exactly what the problem was. The irony of it all is I rarely use the rear doors/back seats so didn’t even think to check before it went in for its MOT.
Car Details:
Saxo 1.1 Forte 2000 5 door
Problem:
As the title says, the driver’s side rear door won’t unlock. When you pull the lock, it moves a little bit, but doesn’t seem to fully unlock. The handle works OK so I don’t think it’s that and points to something to do with the locking mechanism.
So far I’ve remove the rear door panel and I can feel the rod moving when I lift the lock button, but doesn’t seem to fully unlock as there isn’t a nice ‘click’ like the rear passenger side. Part of the problem is I can’t see where the rod attaches to the lock, so I’m just doing it by feel, but I’ve as yet had no luck.
Has anyone had a similar issue and know what the problem is?
Any help would be massively appreciated and thanks in advance.
