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 :-(

Anyone with such experience?

Thanks!


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.

I say, "Sure! But be advised you need to lock the passenger-side door
with the key."

On Sunday he calls and asks if he can keep it until this Thursday, he
has other things that he needs the truck for.

"Sure, no problem". (Ten-year-old truck with only 29,000 miles on
it... not like it's an essential part of my life ;-)

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!

If he owned a liquor store he'd be the perfect son-in-law ;-)

Wow! That's one impressive story...
