Does it feel like the push button is "dead"? meaning that it doesn't take any effort to push it in? As if nothing happens when you do push it? Whereas normally there would be some resistance as it pushes the release lever? If so, it could be as simple as a $1.00 return spring that needs replaced. I've run into this twice now. You'd have to pull out the door latch mechanism, and replace the small spring at the top. Let me know if this sounds about right, and I can give more details. richard a schaefer wrote: > Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Darrell > I'd be willing to bet that you don't have a lock issue.
