[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 879413, member: 54263"] Door latch type work can get costly quick. You will have diagnostic labor and then they will order parts, which,,, they can't get just the single part you need, it will come as an integral part of the latch mechanism for example. I would say $200 would be an expected bill unless they open it up and find a simple fix. I suggest getting to to a local shop where they will open it up and then figure out what is actually defective. If it is the latch mechanism, you will not likely need a new one. You have to have it in your hand and lube the living CRAP out of it and work all the parts using pliers and what not until you get it functioning. Will work for years and years especially if you occasionally lube it even from the outside once you get it working. It could be a stuck lock solenoid as well, if it is stuck in the up position, it would act as a bind on everything and you would not be able to lock the door. And if stuck down, cant unlock it. So need to do more digging to get a better answer... [/QUOTE]
