Door lock problem

[goo]

Hey
I turned out that my drivers door had been potentially operating without the spring for years - we searched around the inside of the door frame (including using a magnet) but couldn't find it!
A new spring has however made the action much more positive and hopefully, much less likely to trap me inside!
Thanks Bruce again for your assistance!
Cheers

I think I have this problem as well... I have looked on the inside of the door but have never found a spring (it hasn't fallen off). What's worse is the lock on the passenger side doesn't work at all (with the key) . Freaked out a couple nights ago when I unlocked the car and the door wouldn't open!!! . Managed to get it open after a while of turning the key and pulling the door handle simultaneously... . I have a feeling it might have something to do with the keyless entry (aftermarket) as it first started stuffing up back when I use to use it. I removed the actuator for the keyless entry on the passenger door and it hasn't had any problems so I think I might remove it from the drivers side as well.
