'95 SSEI Driver's door
Hi, I need to see why my power lock remote does not open the drivers side door, it appears to try it but the inside lever does not move all the way , so the door does not open. All other doors open fine when I press the remote twice, any suggestions on what my problem could be or instructions on how to take the inside door panel off.
Thanks |

Re: '95 SSEI Driver's door
Does it unlock properly when you use the door switch??
I suspect your answer will be "no". What you probably have is a bumper problem. More specifically, the door latch assembly and the power lock actuator are connected with a rod with a little rubber bumper at the end. In time, the rubber deteriorates and unlocking becomes a problem. The repair kit is available through GM dealers and is pretty cheap from what I understand. Fortunately I have not had to do this procedure. Just going from memory, there are 3 screws and several push-in retainers to remove the door panel. One screw is behind the small trim piece that the power mirror switch is located (or would be if not equipped) and the other 2 are behind the white door light. Be careful then prying the lens off cause it's brittle. The push-in retainers are around the perimeter of the door panel. It's helpful to have a "J tool" or similar to pry out without damaging the retainers of the door panel. |

Re: '95 SSEI Driver's door
Ok, I got the door panel off and I think you are right, the rod never seems to fully extract when you press the power door open, although, I can't see where this bumper is. I follow the rod to the end of the door but, it's all blocked from there. This is not an easy thing to replace? I guess I will live with it.

Re: '95 SSEI Driver's door
You need to remove the latch assembly and actuator to replace... I think. I'll send you a pic of the assemblies via PM so you can get an idea of what the problem is.
