My 1983 Dodge van.
The drivers front door lock and passenger side door locks are electric Power Locks. The key in the drivers side door lock, most of the time it is hard to lock and unlock the door. One of my repair manuals diagrams shows two or three pull/push rods. Can I remove one of those rods so the key will operate the lock the old fashinoned way? If so, which rod? Inside my Haynes (paper manual) Dodge and Plymouth 1971 through 2003 Vans, on page 11-8 (chapter 11 body) there are three diagrams of the inside of the door. I don't care about electric power door locks on my old van. I only want the old fashioned mechanical action door lock style.

can I borrow it?
I used to drive a safari, and had some important work done on it. An apprentice left his crescent wrench inside the drivers door, and every time I went over a bump the doorlocks would cycle a couple of times. Nils K. Hammer The kid was happy to get his wrench back. |

I hope you gave the guy a lecture about the evils of bolt-rounding wrenches? --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." Used to be in some auto factories when people took a break or their lunch break, sometimes somebody would forget and leave a soda pop bottle/candy wrapper inside a door, after the inside door panel was installed. Maybe it still happens. |
