Hello again, everybody - Respecting that engine failures, leaky heads, major mechanical disorders are probably a lot more in need of your help, I do ask that, if you are familiar with this minor problem, please let me know: The power locking feature of my '91 Carat seems to be getting a little sluggish in the sliding door only. Mechanically, the door seems to be fine. I cleaned the electrical contacts on both the door and the jam, but I notice that when I lock the bus globally, either with a key or from inside, the slider either delays locking or fails to lock at all. A little jiggling (sp?) of the sliding door handle usually 'wakes it up' and it then locks. I'm all ears. Many thanks. Sam (Penn Valley, PA) '91 Carat (85K) |
