I have posted this one before but never got the right reply. My drivers side front door and back left door locks click really loud. I know that you can adjust them, but i dont know what to adjust. can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe a diagram or something that you can tell me to adjust. They are getting really bad. And the drivers side even pops back up/

Thanks
Sean

Sean, are you talking about a clicking/clatter after you have engaged/unengaged the lock? I fixed my front drivers door but was unable to get the rear door to fix. You simply pull out the lock actuator, and zip tie around the thing really tight, should solve the problem..

Nope, no diagrams for ya.. Blue? where are you?

Basically once you have the door panel off, you'll go up to the lock, then just below it is a little black box, which you'll definitely hear much better with the door panel off:-) You'll need to run your zip tie around it like you're trying to squeeze those two pieces together really really tight.. that solved my problem up front.. now the rear is still as loud as hell.. good luck to ya..
