I've got 2001 pick-em-up truck (Frontier) on which a door lock has
failed... can lock/unlock with the key, lock from the interior, but
not unlock.

I remember such a thing happening years ago on another vehicle... $4
part, $50 labor :-(

I can't figure out how you remove the interior door panel to get at
stuff :-(



Last Thursday (a week ago) son-in-law-to-be asks to borrow my truck so
he can pick up a dishwasher. Will return it on Sunday.


Yesterday, when son-in-law-to-be returned the truck, he had repaired
the door, changed oil and filter, rotated the tires, fixed the spare,
adjusted the rear brakes, fixed a minor drip from the rear-end AND...
filled up the tank!


So how did he get the door panel off?


I have no idea exactly what he did, but he runs the vehicle (cars
_and_ motorcycles) maintenance shop for the Chandler Police
Department, so I'm sure he knows how to do it properly.
