Kan die AGTERDEUR oopmaak? regs agter ek meen ? -- gaan kyk na presies jou model Patrol. Maak agterdeur oop en meet presies waar die voordeur se knip is .. boor deur die kosyn van agter af - tot BY die knip (nie in nie ) - nou weer daai lang dun skroewedraaier -- kyk of jy die knip kan oop druk
Yep! Al die deure kan oopmaak...behalwe die een wat moet oop. Daar is nou nie juis Patrols in die omgewing waar ek bly nie...die goed is maar skaars hier. Dink ek sal die paneel op die passasiers deur afhaal en bietjie skoolgaan.
Tried that...it didn't work.AndriesS wrote:Suggestion before you take it to a mechanic that will destroy something in the process. disconnect battery, then try the silver button unlock method, also try locking unlocking with the silver button while you keep the lever opened. You should be able to remove some of the door trim with the door closed but you will need to remove the driver seat though.
If push comes to shove, I'll ask someone in Pretoria to go and see if it is still there. Thanks for this info Andries.AndriesS wrote:There is a Patrol (last checked in June) at Mazford spares in Pretoria West. I recall that the the driver side panel was still in tack and it might have a lock mechanism.
The feeling/resistance on the malfunctioning lock is the same as on the passenger door when locked. The linkages seem to be intact and functioning.AndriesS wrote:I hope jiggling both locking lever and opening lever with battery disconnected might help. As a matter of interest you can maybe give us an idea of the feel in resistance between the driver and passenger door when unlocking and or moving the opening lever. they should be the same, if the one move a lot more freely it could be as suggested that one of the "blou draad" wires disconneted.
