Door Locks

[fordman]

if the lever is broken it can be replaced. it is held on by an "e" clip to the lock.

[JMcTurnan]

And the lever is on the lock cylinder itself then?

[fordman]

yes the lever trips the rod that is hooked to the latch.

[JMcTurnan]

K, thanks. Ill take a look at it when it gets warm out LOL.

trick that i use to do with mine before disassembly i would push the outside push button in then lock the inside and close the door then let go and that always worked for me

[JMcTurnan]

Push the outside button first? Ill try that, because I know some old ones you have to hold the button. But that was after you locked it. Thanks 69 ranger, Ill try that.

[fordman]

that is not suppose to work. it doesnt on my trucks any of them.

[JMcTurnan]

Oh, well I'll try, who knows.

i think my truck my just be special or my Dad did something to make it work on it . My dad did alot of stuff to his truck

69rangerf100, I'm not so sure that you're wrong. The locks in my truck don't yet work (shhhhh) but I've heard that what you describe actually does work. I don't know what year they started doing it that way -or if they actually did-, but it's possible.

[JMcTurnan]

It doesnt work for mine.

[fordman]

i would like it to work on mine. if you ever get the door apart let us know how it was fixed to work that way.

[69rangerf100]

likely i still have one door that i have not disassembled yet so i will take some pics of everything
