You have to force it away from the door to get access to the mechanism, I break Omegas and have a drivers door card if needed

There's something in the door that's the same for both front doors ....  ;D ;D


The plastic sheet that's supposed to keep moisture away from the door card?  ;)

That'll be it .....  ::)

I have one here that can be used to make good, but would prefer to simply pop the door. ;)

I believe that the two front door locks are completely different not only handed but different structure.

The locking motor is... ::)

The problem here is with the actual door latch/lock mechanism. These are obviously unique to the door in which they are fitted ;)

Took my car into my local workshop/garage today their  diagnosis was that the lock was deadlocked and would not free,as I thought, The only solution is replace the lock which of course means butchery to the doorcard.The locks are no longer available from GM so the only answer is a used lock. This is the same as an earlier post in 2011 where part of the deadlock separated from the lock.If anybody has a lock drivers side and a doorcard they don't need please let me know . I assume that a deadlock cannot be sidelined in any way to enable the door to be opened :y

To elaborate, if dead locked, the lock button can be pulled up to unlock the door. This requires effort, but uses little more than mole grips ;)

Hello Doc Thanks for the post.I did try lifting the stalk with mole grips yesterday and then the mechanic tried it today without any joy. If I try to open the door with the key the stalk comes up and if I turn the key back the stalk  lifts a little more I assumed that this was the deadlock releasing.This is very much like an old post when something had broken on the deadlock mechanism. When you operate the key and the door handle at the same time you can feel a slight click as if something is trying to operate but failing.I have faith in the garage but they have not had the same experience with omegas as people on the forum and I am a little lost on knowing which way to turn.
