Door lock stuck!
« on: 27 July 2009, 18:21:55 »
Help! I have a major problem.

On my -03 Omega the passenger side door lock motor broke down a few weeks ago. No big problem. A simple job to fix following these excellent guidelines http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152953579/0#0
Thank you, The boy!

Today I finally got around to trying to fixi it. To my great horror, I found that the lock is stuck in the extra safety position that bars the lock. This means that it is impossible to pull the knob = the door remains locked = I can't get to the screws holding the door panel = I can't get in to the locking mechanism. Catch 22.

Does anyone know how to get the lock out of the barred position manually?

Problem solved! With a lot of patience and some brute force I finally managed to unlock the door. Now I can go ahaed and change the motor  :D (which cost a horrendous amount at the local Opel stealer  >:( )

Keep cruising!  :y

Yep, thanks to the guidelines on removing door card and replacing central locking motor this job was a piece of cake   :) Thanks guys for writing all the excellent guidelines!!  :y

If I had realised how easy the job is I would have taken the advise to buy the motor at the scrappy  ;)
