Hi people...

I went to get in the S2000 yesterday and the drivers door would not unlock. I've tried unlocking with key and blipper and unlocking and using the handle from the inside. Thankfully the passenger side opens ok. Does anyone have experience of this problem or potential ways to solve?

Cheers...

 

Lock/latch's probably gone dry.

WD40 is your firend, to get it open.

Then remove door casing/weather membrane & bubricate properly with lithium grease. also stops it from having delusions.

 

Ok where am I aiming the WD40? At the outside door handle?

 

Try a little into/around the lock barrel.

Also, you need to stick the tube down the window weatherstrip & aim in the general direction of where you think the latch assy. is.

Or just mass distribution.

Once you can unlock/lock it with the key, it ought to open. Sometimes it's the rods to the interior handle that go dry, so you might want to loosen it & get behind it.

I've noticed "bubricate" is ny new word. Don't use WD40 on bubs; it might cause a rash.
