Re: Door Lock Noise

Hi there.

My 1998 CR-V started doing something similar with the same door (weird noises when I went to lock/unlock it). Eventually it seized up, which I suspect was caused by lack of use. When you think about it, it's the door you probably use the least.

I eventually had to forcefully take it apart from the inside, coat the locking device with a chemical lubricant, and use repeated force on the rod to force it to unlock.

Once I had it open I coated it with WD-40. Now it works great.

Word to the wise: keep it lubricated if it starts seizing up.
