Door Lock
 
The drivers side door lock on my SS didn't always want to lock or unlock (key fob or button inside) so I took it in and the replaced the actuator. Well this morning it didn't unlock for me and didn't unlock/lock all the way to work (I was playing with it). Anyone else having this problem?

I am getting a little frustrated with it because this is the second part in the car in less than two months... could it be something other than the actuator?

maybe a bent rod from the actuator to the door lock. Another possible is rod getting caught on something ie door panel so it stops it from getting lock/unlock.

That actually happened to me when I installed the stubby locks. :red: Had some adhesive run down the rod and stick to the inside of door, needed to open the door panel to get it undone.

exactly my story. i installed the smoothie lock knobs, and now i have this issue from time to time. i figured the adhesive would be the issue, so i just need to take the time to take the door panel off and take care of it.

I would hope if that was the case, they would have seen that when they replaced it... I may just call them tomorrow and see what they think. I am tired of taking my car in though.
