Hi I have an au series 1 fairmont and the door lock has fallen apart inside has anyone else had this happen ?? the barrel is still there and looks like normall from outside but you put the key in and there is nothing but air ?? Pulled the door trim off and the guts of it are in the bottom of the door.

looks like your up for a new actuator, either new or from the wreckers, make sure it comes out of a working car before u buy it

ahh woops, i actually had the same problem, with my barrel, i just got it replaced, i had to call racq out to pry open the door so the could unlock it with there speacial tool,
sort of like a baloon they use, put it between the door and the pillar, as he pumped it up it pried the door out far enough to open the door,

Happened on the taxis, I just put another barrel in
Only problem was 2 keys needed, one for door, one for starting Took a bit of explaining to the drivers.... That car only had 1 remote, which I kept safe, so the drivers always used a key to open it, probably wore it out. |
