Hi there,
I've read many many threads on this and although it seems that despite this being a common problem and there's ample info, I still can't get my drivers door open consistently on my 91 XJ.
At the end of a three hour struggle last night, I actually got the door open. I literally did nothing different - I just sprinkled unicorn tears on the button outside and it magically decided to open for me. After that, it opened just fine about 10 times. I go out this morning to go to work and THE DOOR WONT OPEN AGAIN! Literally just sat there all night and decided to change its mind to not open.
To jump to the end, what is this and does its being out of position have anything to do with my inability to open my door?
The details:
Door worked just fine until yesterday afternoon. There was nothing that happened that would cause the door to malfunction.
I can lock the door from the outside, but when I try to unlock with the key, it's like the lock cylinder won't let the key go all the way to the right. Like its binding.
Power door locks move all of the rods and all of the rods are connected and move freely.
I've drowned the whole mechanism in penetrating oil and honestly everything seems to operate very smoothly so I'm not sure where I'm getting hung up.
Hopefully this has happened to someone else and can give me some insight!
Thanks!
