Default door lock

Alright, this is kind of messed up, let me know what you guys think about this.

After getting my car back from the bodyshop, my door lock has been giving me some trouble. Namely: when I unlock my door from the outside or inside, it automatically locks again, everytime I unlock, it moves back to the lock position, after I unlock it.

It happens especially when I lock the door from the inside lock button, and then after that, I have a hard time unlocking my door.

Any ideas on what this can be? loose wire perhaps?

Default Re: door lock (vet_girl)

There is a threaded rod going down from your door handle to the latch mechanism if this rod is not adjusted properly it will cause the problem your describing. It sounds like you need to readjust the rod so that it is shorter and takes the preloaded pressure off the switch in the latch. Example if you pull up on the outside door handle and try to lock the door- it will not , this is whats happening I believe. hope this helps you out.
