Ford focus rear door lock jammed. If it is locked and closed you will have to pull the top portion of the plastic trim away from the liftgate it is held in place by metal retaining clips on top and four screws on the bottom if you can open remove the. The lock functions fine. This is a safety issue because our kids can just open the rear door because you have no ability to lock the door with the child safety lock feature. I mean it is jammed as if it is bolted to the car.
There is a recall on the 2005 focus door locks but not the 2007. Like something isn t initiating the latch. I m not going to have a chance to work on it for a couple of hours but it s killing me. I have an intermittent issue with the rear passenger door on my 2009 flex limited.
Car door lock actuators are designed to lock and unlock a door without the effort of pulling on a cable and rod. Could someone take a moment to get a photo of the top half on the hatch door itself of the latch on the car and post it. In some cars the door lock actuator is positioned below the latch. The lock is jammed in the unlock position.
The child lock is not on. Passanger rear door lock will not lock with manual operation or the remote. Just a note for all the strap does not move. On occasion and generally those occasions are the worst times it s stuck and will not open.
