Well, now that I have my window regulator working I can now turn to the door lock mechanism.

First, I never lock my car. I would rather have stuff stolen from it than to have to go through a smashed window episode. When I drove it to Puerto Vallarta five years ago I would leave a bribe in the centre console so that thieves would not get angry and trash the interior. Nobody ever broke in as it turned out.

But my door lock mechanism locks itself and I continually have to open the driver's side door using the key. It is an intermittent snag and might have something to do with temperature. It seems to do more locking on the colder days than the warmer ones.

Regardless, I suspect an adjustment might be in order and it is to this possibility I address my remarks.

I will take the driver's side door panel off today or tomorrow and then I will be able to adjust the mechanism. What will I behold? And is there a standard way of setting up the door lock arrangement?

In general the system works fine. It locks all of the doors when asked, etc. I would just rather it not decide by itself whether the doors should be locked or unlocked.
