Door Latch (not the lock) won't work

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Tkg2000

It seems like I have been gone forever. Sorry. (I even had to re-register)

I have a peculiar issue keeping my son out of the red MK.
The door latches (both of them) will not work. They pull with ease (maybe too easy) but do nothing. Anybody heard of this? Can you point me to a tech thread that addresses it?

Many thanks in advance!

Are you in Smithsburg, MD?

Neither of the doors open? Have you run the door locks up and down? If one door handle did not work, I would believe that the linkage might have been compromised, but the fact that both are an issue makes me wonder. When was the last time that you were able to get into the vehicle, and has anything been done since then?

Yes, Smithsburg, MD.

No, neither door will open. Both door locks run up and down many times both with the key and the door code which still works. Exactly!, on the 2 vs. 1. I made that same point to my son a couple of days ago. "In and out" was okay just last week and nothing has been done between last good "in & out" and "lock out"

Thanks!

Hmmm, I am just down the road in Myersville. I might be able to give you a hand at some point.

Happened to me, too, right door. What you do is glop lithium grease on that star looking thing that you see when you open the door, open and close the door several times, and it's all over. Well, first you may have to reposition the star thing with a screwdriver. Not a big deal, you can do this yourself easily.
