Re: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own
Early attempt at safety. You can not lock your keys in the car that way. You have to puposely hold in the door button.

You have to push down the lock button and depress the door handle button as you shut the door to have it lock. Or you can shut the door and lock it with the key. Is this what you are talking about?

Re: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own

hey guys here is a fix, push the button in while shutting the doorfor the other guy i think your ? is different check your lock might be worn out or the clip is worn or loose, in any route just replace the unit , five dollar fix for any lock smith, later
RE: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own
That's not what's happening to me. What you are describing is normal. It's meant to prevent you from locking the keys in the car. You have to hold the button in when you shut the door if you want it to stay locked. Oddly enough, all day today mine was back to normal. BTW, the locks are new.

Re: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own
Just a guess but the part that goes on the door lock that the little clip holds on may be the wrong one or is binding. - Original Message - From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 3:39 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own Every once in a while my driver's door lock stops working properly, and then magically it fixes itself. The symptom of the non-function is that when you turn the key to lock it and then turn the key back to take the key out of the lock, it unlocks. Likewise, if you turn the key to unlock it and then turn back to release the key, it locks again. This is just a minor nuisance because I can open the door with the key still in the lock and then take the key out, and I dont really need the key to lock it. Also, the problem seems to come and go. However, if anybody has some insight on what might be causing it, I'd like to try to fix it.

RE: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own
Thanks for the suggestions on and off list. I guess the thing to do is take it apart, poke around for obvious problems, and lubricate everything. John Nasta
