Unlocked & working

[billschaferabn@xxxx]

Group,

My thanks to all who repled to my last cry for help. 4 groupies were right 
on the money. Joe Palatinus, Mike, Josh Haldeman and Mike Substelny all had 
the same or similar experience. What has happened over the course of years 
is the locking linkage rods have loosened up and make the linkage rods not 
strong enough to unlock the door. I removed the upper drivers inside door 
panel and right over the inside armrest door handle release latch are the 
linkage rods. I was able by hand to move the top linkage rod forward (toward 
the dash) and relase the lock mechanism. This allowed the door to open 
freely. Tomorrow I will WD 40 the rods and tighten the tension on the rods to 
allow the outside keylock to function properly. Again my sincere thanks to 
all who responded.

Bill
