My Rear Driver Side Door does the same thing..... I 'unlocked' it with the key fob and then tried to open the door...That's when I started to play with the lock, unlock, button and realized it was not working.

 

I don't know how long this has been happening but it sucks to think there was a way into my truck without me knowing.

 

Is there a way collectively we can get GM to notice/acknowledge this?

This discussion triggers my recall of an incident that happened to me last week. My neighbor just took delivery of a few items from his father's estate. One item was a totally stock 1966 Chevrolet Caprice wagon. I had a similar vehicle during my University days so I was able to show him a few "features". I laughed when he asked me where the button was to lock the doors!

Used remote to lock and the lights flash and horn sounds but none of the doors lock, I locked all doors manually and tried to unlock and same thing only lights. If I use the interior switch I can hear the click by fuse box but nothing happens same with passenger side

I am not a car specialist, as I am a female and do not manifest interest in solving any car problems, haha. For that, I have a husband. My man tried all the ideas, but he failed to open the door. The inside lock of the door had malfunctioned, and the button did not react to the push. I thought my baby pushed the controller so much that it stooped to respond. For help, I contacted https://www.locksmithsingapore.sg/, which is the best specialist in Singapore, concerning everything about do repair and replacement services.

I know that the actuators have been known to go bad but you should be able to manually open the door. I had the actuator go bad on my front passenger door. If I pressed several times quickly on the unlock button on driver's door, the button would finally pop up. But I could also pull the door opening lever twice to manually open the door.

When a door lock is "sticking," it usually indicates an issue with the lock mechanism or alignment. This problem can arise due to various reasons. First, misalignment is a common cause, where the door and its frame have shifted over time, preventing the lock from engaging or disengaging smoothly. Second, the accumulation of dirt, grime, or rust inside the lock mechanism can hinder its operation. Exposure to dust and moisture can lead to this buildup. Third, a lack of lubrication can also cause sticking; over time, the lubricant inside the lock can dry out or get dirty, requiring reapplication. Lastly, wear and tear of the lock components due to regular use can lead to mechanical issues, making the lock hard to operate. Addressing these issues usually involves realigning the door, cleaning or lubricating the lock mechanism, or replacing worn-out parts.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
