Thread: Front lhs door wont open

Are you sure the lock is unlocking...does the button raise when you press the fob or the dash button?
Seems unlikely...although stranger things have happened, that the handle mechanisms are suspect...especially both at once.

Pulled the trim off the door and had a peak. The lock was what I suspected at first even though it was acting as per normal, have even tried getting a mm or 2 more manually but to no avale. I have a sneaking sus****ion that something has come ajar in the mechanism itself, we all know how smooth the roads are up this way (broome). Have to leave it till I am back at work on tuesday now so I can access my torques bits.

Hey Robbie, I would hazard a guess and say a new latch assembly is required. they are a sealed unit, containing the latch and actuator all in one.

The only good thing is they aren't as expensive as buying a genuine D1 latch... but you still have to remove the window frame to get it out.

I had my LHS mechanism replaced here in Karratha...I supplied the genuine part..$180.00, and the cost to install...$95 so 1 hours labour.
Don't think they had to take the window out to do it????
