When the weather gets cold, my door locks "stick". I hit the remote to lock the car, and the button goes part-way down, but then bounces back up leaving the car unlocked (though the alarm is armed...). If I manually open and close the door lock a few times, I can usually get it to go down properly with the remote. Any one else have this problem, and is there any fix short of replacing the whole lock assembly? | ||

i know what you mean, its really the driver and passenger doors. It takes atleast 3 tries to open the driver door and even more assistance with the passenger door... If anyone knows how to fix, PLEASE POST! | ||

If you take out the door lock you will see a very small single turn spring in amongst all the gubbins. this small spring breaks and prevents the lock from latching. LR dont make a replacrement spring, just a complete lock, but you can make a spring quite easily cheers wizard | ||

Anyone know how much a complete lock might cost? Thanks, Luis | ||

So it isn't a broken spring, as it only happens when cold. Lubrication perhaps? |
