I've read a few times that the wires for the lock system that go from the
body to the driver's door get weak or fail. ..by the hinges on the driver's
door.

Hi all,

a. how do you remove the door panel?

b. The drivers door won't lock (even when closed) AND the slider
won't unlock... the actuator (or spring?) keeps locking the door
right after you unlock or move the unlock tab up from the inside.
Perhaps incidentally, the passeger door does not see to activate or
respond to any actuators.

Anyone familiar with this failure mode? It was working well, then not
working and then working and now I have no way of locking the door, a
bad idea here in brooklyn, ny.
