Hey guys and gals....
Was hoping maybe someone would have run into this or have the proper information regarding it.
The victim is... 1993 Mustang GT Convertible.
The problem is...Someone backed into the passenger side of the car on the door, right where the lock cylinder and door handle is. I do not see any missing pieces or anything broken in the door panel. I ripped off the door panel and started checking over all the clips and rods. The door will open with the handle, but will not lock with the key in the lock cylinder nor by pushing down on the door lock pin itself. The power locks dont work because I need to replace the switches themselves. If the actual actuator is broke I dont think that would post a problem with manually locking the door itself. I dont have a schematic of the actual lock setup itself and cant get my hands on a Chilton or Haynes manual for a few days. I was actually hoping to complete this job or at least make the door lock before the week starts. If nothing else, then i guess just a matter of ripping the door handle off and then covering the holes in the meantime till I replace the door and shave the locks and handles on the vehicle. If anyone has run into this or knows what to or even has access to a schematic you can share with me, I would be soooooo grateful. Thanks for your time and advice in advance!
