DESCRIPTION

A driver's side door lock that does not lock or unlock the remaining doors may have a damaged circuit in the door lock switch.

Modified switches have been installed in production vehicles starting June 3, 1991 (Hofu production) and June 25, 1991 (Flat Rock production). These modified switches are not interchangeable with switches on vehicles produced prior to June 3rd and June 25th respectively.

Vehicles produced prior to June 3rd and June 25th that experience this driver door lock problem, should have switches replaced with the original switch. The replacement switch must be water-proofed to prevent problem reoccurrence. See Repair Procedure for instructions.
