The driver side door on my 00 gsr sometimes doesn't lock n I was just wonderin whats wrong n how to fix it.

When I push the thing to lock all the doors of the car, all doors will lock but sometimes the driver side door wont lock. and it wont lock if I push the door lock either instead of the power lock switch. but it will lock if I close the door and stick my key in and turn it.

this only happens sometimes but I just want to know whats wrong n want it fixed.

 

pull off the door panel their are metal rods that run from the door lock by the handle to the the actual lock in the door-jam. sometimes they will pop out of the clips the go through and it causes them to bind.

 

if you are inside the car, pull the handle like you are opening the door. while you pull the handle, lock the car. then the door will lock.

 

thanks....that pulling the door handle thing works...

one day when i got time ill see if i can fix it

 

It is a safety feature to keep you from locking your keys in the car. You either need to be inside with the door closed or outside with the door closed(keys in hand preferable). The door handle trick is a bypass.

 

i have to do the same thing on my 00 gsr. any one know the fix for it?
