Hi all
A bit of advice for us who have the DX models.For those with more expensive models, we only have manual door locks with a standard key-no electronics.
Had problems locking drivers side door for a few weeks so eventually had a look. Lucky because if left it could have been expensive-bloody expensive.
After fiddling around with locking mechanism while I had door open, found that when in closed position-that is latch in closed position it could not be opened again without depressing internal latch with a screw driver. This would have been impossible with door actually closed and no amount of playing with connecting rods from internal and external latches can work.
Off to Mr Nissan for a new one expecting to have to wait a few days as local dealer usually only stocks items that sell readily but yes they were in stock as they had a run on them recently.It is a pressed unit so cannot be repaired and wreckers usually only sell door as a unit.
Part no is 80502VB100 and cost $308.
So message is if you door lock plays up, check it out immediately before door is closed and lock decides not to open.
