Lazy passenger door locking on VXR8

[SteveMJ]

My VXR8's door lock is a bit slow to lock or unlock. Usually a couple of attempts makes it finish its job.

As the replacement mechanism is £175, I am keen to look for a lower cost fix.

I am assuming that either the mechanism has worn or the solenoid has bad electrical contacts or it gets full or crud. Has anyone any experience and may be able to cast some expertise on this?


I am guessing (car is in garage being serviced) that this is only a few pressed steel and nylon parts operated by a solenoid, so not a lot involved and probably common with other GM vehicles.

Thanks, Steve
