Locking Issue (not solenoid)

  1. #1
    My passenger side door will not lock/unlock when the drivers door is.
    I actually know what the issue is but I can't see how I am suppose to fix it.

    I popped the door card off today to have a look. I can see/feel the solenoid is working fine.
    If I feel around behind there, It's that little rod that goes from the lock button thing, down to the solenoid, that's come unclipped from the solenoid.

    The problem is I can't quite see how I am supposed to get enough access to these parts to actually fix the issue. I can only just get my fingers back there let alone enough space to start securing those bits back together for good.

    Any ideas?

    What I did was, because its hidden, and I never planned to have the 'race look' on my old saxo doorcards,

    I took a set of bolt croppers, and cup away like a flat in the metal, as its like a tin can, pulled the flap back so I had accesss then I just pushed it back and put gaffer tape over it and put the doorcard back on.

    Never noticed
