Due to what Frank says below this would be a great project for someone with a digital camera to take photos of the fix and a link to a web page with instructions. Are any available yet for the door lock repair? There are so many good pages now such as Tom's page on CV repair and Harald & Nancy's page on the auxiliary battery. William Andy, this is a common problem with the electric door locks. Most likely what is happening is that the electrical contacts inside one or both of the front door motors are corroded. You must remove the motors and carefully open them. Clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner and then lube them with Dielectric Grease. Reassemble the motors and reinstall and all should be fine. Just be careful when opening the motor so as not to lose any of the small bits and make note of how all is before removing any part. There are no diagrams on how the assembly is. Cheers Frank Condelli
