Hey All

Correct-a-mundo!  This is similar to my ususal way of locking my bus.  Not
intended to be a bizarre way of doing things, but rather a necessity.  You
see, about 6 months ago I found that when I turn the key in the door handle
to lock the vehicle, the lock buttons on the doo go down (lock), but then
pop right back up.  Similarly, if I am inside, I can push down ONE of the
door lock buttons, and the same thing occurs.  If I push BOTH down at the
same time, they stay locked.  I then simply exit through the slider.  Crude,
awkward, but effective.

However, I wish to improve upon things a bit and correct this situation.
Does anyone have a similar experience with door locks?  Any suggestions on
where I might look to locate the (seemingly apparent) disconnect between the
two doors?

Many thanks, enjoy the weekend.
