drivers door lock mechinism

[19bobsho91]

When I use the keyless pad all the doors unlock except the drivers door (of course). It appears that the "nut?" at the bottom of the door that appears to hold part of the mechinism in place is gone. I'm looking for some input on fixing this before I take it all apart. Anyone else dealt with this or know what I'm talking about?
Thanks.

Not exactly sure what you're talking about. The unit is fairly self contained. When I fixed mine I just swapped units. Unless the hook part has dislodged itself?

i also am unclear on what you are asking exactly....or describing


the whole unit can be had from the dealer or by motormite (HELP! section)

Ok, let me try to explain this better. I didn't think I'd done a very good job. This is on a gen I sho. With the door open, under the door lock,down low,next to the storage bin, there is a round flush "nut" with a pin in the center, almost looks like a rivet. Its about 1/2" diameter.
It appears to hold something in place, maybe a rod or something for lock/unlock of door?. Mine is gone, there is a hole where it was. When I press the unlock switch I can see something go up past the hole and then drop back when I let go of switch. All other doors work, but this one stopped working when this "nut" disappeared. It will lock/unlock with the key, but the keyless and the switch in door do not work for this one door.
Any ideas? Thanks.
