I've been pretty quiet since I got my 164 about a month ago. Getting a little paint and cosmetics done. Changing fluids, belts and hoses. New stereo (Pioneer with Bluetooth). Going to refurbish the leather. Just spruicing her up and fixing a few odds and ends.
Most everything is done, pick the car up at Group2, drive down the road with a grin on my face.
Happen to notice that the "door open" warning light is on. Shows the front passenger door as the problem. I lean over, give it a yank, seems fine to me. Pull into the driveway, and start to unload some odds and ends. Some stuff on the passenger's side. Walk around to open the door. No can do. Back to the driver's seat again. Push the lock/unlock button, try the door nothing but a clunk when I pulled on the handle. Not much different then the sound one gets when the door opens. Except, this time the door doesn't open.
Next, I pull up on the knob. Try again. Nothing, not even a clunk. Handle moves, that's it. Hit the lock/unlock button a few times. Knobs go up and down. Now here's a good one: After hitting the unlock and the passenger door button now in the up position, I then try to open the door with the handle. Presto, all four door locks, lock. Hmmmmm, pull passenger door handle to open door, all doors lock. At that point I gave up.
FYI, door lock had worked before. Even after the speaker was R & R'd.
Going to take the car East of the mountains in two days. Told my girl friend about the problem and said (with a grin on my face), "Well honey I guess I'll just have to chauffeur you around while you sit in the back seat. Hey, you might as well sit there you back-seat drive anyway."
Fortunately, she either realized I was kidding, or knew I was already PO'd about the lock and let it slide.
Well, any ideas?
