Good to see its open..
So..
are the dx and St locks the same??
Glad you got the door open at last. Bugger the new lock doesn't work though.
Maybe Mr bean had the right idea.
ST's are electric and the DX is just key and linkages I think.
So the mighty DX has its demons as well.
Your gunna miss climbing in the window mate!!
are you sure its not an issue with the locking rod linkage type thingy as opposed to the new plastic thing you bought............................
oh and by the way

Has the linkage or door handle stretched or bent in any way, causing the mechanism not to move enough to operate?
I believe so?Quote:

Yes but the mechanism to lock is the same. Its not the actuation whether elec or manual of the lock thats the problem. Its the bastard internal workings that simply wear outQuote:

No, even disconnecting all linkages the locking part doesnt move freely to lockQuote:

No there isnt.Quote:

Ok so the doors open, now other than the $300 lock what other costs did you manage
.eg 1 case of Johnnie Walker, pkt aspirin, 6 x bandaids
I'm up for another door trim. And still need another new lock as this one has a fault locking now
Personal costs are bit of bark off me knuckles an amount of mental anguish
Positives I can flex my back due to the recent forced yoga

Removed the lock in its entirety this morning to make sure I wasn't having a brain fart moment or two
Small vid below of the difference in movement between the old and the new. It's fair to judge that the old one has a wear factor but not to the extent that it has 75% more travel

Maybe someone assembled it wrongly. I bought a brand new fuel sender for a Falcon once and it went from full to 1/2 back to full as some idiot had crimped both ends to the earth.
Try and get the supplier to email you a vid of another new assembly's movement.
I'll be ringing them tomorrow to discuss my options
Fair bit of movement in that lower one,
Hopefully Monday will sort it all out lol
So what preventative measures you think can be taken on the mechanism?

Sweet FA. everything ive read says nadda. Apparently the problem is a plastic pin 3mmx6mm that simply wears out. I smashed the fark out of mine and cant find the worn bit nowQuote:

I'm buying another one and will get refunded when I return the FUBAR one.
@rusty_nail at risk of repeating myself the mechanism is the same on all GU Patrols

For some reason I went to unlock the door with the key (even though it wasn't locked) and instead locked it. Heard the central work and thought mmmm tried the door and it wouldn't open (coz I locked it thinking I was unlocking an already unlocked door) panic quickly set in thinking here we freekin go again. Tried the key again central locking noises (this time unlocking) tried the door and wahlah it worked tried it manually and yeeha all good inside n out happy days

Well done Growler, You'll have to take one of those relaxing drinking & bug eating holidays soon to recover from all that mental anguish.
Thanks heaps for posting the video. I just bought the same mechanism ($290 delivered off ebay) & I'll check it's operation based on your video before installing. And yep, I found the same thing - fitted to ALL GU's, not just DX's
In less than 6 weeks Cuppa I'll be eating bugs!
I don't know why the thing started working. I was driving over lots of speed humps and through paddocks so maybe something bumped it into place, even though I had been giving it gentle taps trying to sort it

Ok I have a theory why the lock didn't move when I had it out of the vehicle. Today I noticed I can't lock the door with the internal "button/lever" while the door is open. Stops you from locking your keys in the car I spose. The door can only be locked internally when it's closed or with the key from outside if that makes sense. Doesn't explain why it wouldn't move when it was shut yesterday or over the weekend whenever I played with it

What about when you lift the door handle, then depress the lever?Quote:
