door lock problem
the girl friend's got a t-bird and her door driver's side door lock doesnt work. stopped working after triple a came and broke into the car b/c she locked the keys in it. the door lock turns, just nothing happens. she said something rattles in the door when she shuts it. im sure that its the rod for the lock in the door, but ive never worked on a t-bird door before (done it on a saturn). you guys have any input on how to go about fixing this. do i have to take off the door skin or just the interior panel? any hints or tips will be welcome...

Re: door lock problem
You should be able to do it just by taking off the door panel. What year is it?

Re: door lock problem
Just the interior door panel. One screw to remove the trim piece to the a-pillar, one screw at the bottom rear of the panel, and the the whole door panel should slide straight up and off. They more than likely broke the plastic piece that holds the pushrod to the lock mechanism.

Re: door lock problem
A lot of companies have a "I'm not at fault if I break something" clause. Not sure about AAA.

Re: door lock problem
I'd go to the junkyard to get that plastic piece coupe is talkin about.
It would be etter to check that out, than to have to replace locks and keys, etc. on both doors.
