Hi guys and gals,

done a search and can't find anything on this,

I currently cannot lock one of my doors, when I lock with remote the door doesn't lock, when I try to force it locked by climbing in and pushing the button at the handle no matter how much force I use it will not lock!..

Has anyone dealt with this? what can I do to resolve it, also I thought the horn chirped when a door wasn't locked so why isn't the horn chirping?.

thanks

The power door lock actuator mechanism in the door has most likely seized up and will almost certainly need to be replaced.

I can only presume the horn is not chirping because the warning system senses that the mechanism is still in the locked position.

Too many
What Sean said, not sure on the VE's but on my VZ I just bought a second hand one off ebay, cost $30 and took about an hour to replace the whole thing.

Take the door skin off the door that isn't locking, 5 Phillips head screws around the out side, one under the arm rest and one hex type-dealy near the inner lock, and have a look at the top cable to see if it has slipped out of its slot.


It'll beep 4 times if a door isn't shut.
