Driver's side door lock

[ponygirl_five0]

Ok...maybe you all can help me figure this out. I've got an '87 GT with power door locks. The locks work, but the driver's side won't unlock. Any reason why? And how I can fix it without takin' to the dealer? Could I fix it on my own? Thanks for any advice in advance.

Most likely it's the lock actuator...

jricher (probably spelled this wrong) has a fix for under ~30.00..or you can get a replacement actuator for around 35...


Good Luck..

Like he already said its either the actuator or the wiring for the actuator. More than likely the actuator though. I have a spare one if youd like it.

One can grab the lock harness connector at the top of the driver kick panel and probe the wires and note values. The primary color on the lock wires on your 87 should be pink.

Good luck.

Stuck with door lock actuators that don't work and don't want to pay the $50+ for a new one? Tried the junkyard ones and found that they last six months and freeze up?

A new actuator for less than $4. Fix one side for $17, do both sides for only $23. I don't sell parts, I don’t make any money off of the upgrade, I just tell you how to do it cheaply and easily.
