Replace the door lock module Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:05:10 In Reply to: Driver door lock malfunction('03 9-3 Vector), Griffmo, Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:14:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It is very common on modern cars that the complete latch/lock unit goes bad.
I replace them all the time on the Volvo's and a few here and there on Saab's (and one on my sister-in-law X5).
The electric pull/push motor inside the module is of a weak nature and give up after awhile. Sometimes it is fragile plastic parts that break off in the linkage inside the module.
The lock sometimes work when cold and then it stops working as the heat builds up during the day.
