Actually, the button feels like a normally locked door. There is still spring resistance that returns as if it's locked. That's why my major suspicion is that it's a stuck lock, but I'm sure to be surprised when the panel comes off this weekend. It's dark-thirty when I leave for work and dark-thirty when I get home. I'd rather do this deed during daylight hours. Many thanks for all the ideas. The good news is that I don't recall ever seeing this thread on the list before!

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.
