Remove the door panel
and check to make sure the linkage to the lock assembly is still
attached. I can't give an estimate because I don't know what is wrong
at this point
are the locks manual or electric?i have seen
most electric locks freeze up because of rust/.corrosion.the rubber
accordian seal fails and moisture does it's job.there is no lubrication
on the mechanism.it's basically a push pull magnet tube with a spiral
grooved actuator rod.this is to assure no accidental vibration/jar
induced movement.also means very difficult to budge when corroded.i
have gotten a few to move by grabbing lock post with pliers and pulling
hard.good luck!

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Tricky to find bolts are under end flaps on door close handgrips. Took
me a day to figure that one out. Others under light at lip of back of
door. Book indicates to strart with window 3/4 up if you can. Flip up
window control at rear of panel. After all screws are out raise outer
edge of armrest and look for notches 4" and 11-1/2" from rear of
armrest to slide inward to remove. There are screws under the door
handle too. Screws everwhere. When pulling bottom of panel from door
lift with a notched bar to avoid tearing the fasteners out of the
cardboard panel. Two screws behind seatbelt notch at top need to come
out to allow positioning the glass. The panel at the bottom of the top
opening can be removed for more fredom in positioning the glass when
reinserting the ball in the lower track on the window. Tape glass with
duct tape to keep it from falling. Drill the factory rivets that hold
the old regulator and I replaced with stove bolts with nylon locknuts
slotted head to the inside the car. Can't remember the size, probably
1/4 or 3/16". Remove speaker if in front bottom of door to use your
hand to do work in the door. You must twist the regulator forward with
window 1/2 down to remove the ball from the socket in the bottom
sliding metal track at the bottom of the window. Don't drop the window
after removing the socket, tape it in place. Don't know what you do if
you cannot move it to 1/2 up position. By the way, the body shops say
you must use rivets, not screws or it will shift, but I have had no
problems with the screws for reinstallation several years old. The
rivet they use take a big hydraulic pop rivet gun that you won't have.
Good luck, I don't envy you. Need to do other window on my 91. The
window control may not be the same on the Custom, mine is the Ltd. you
may be able to remove the motor from the regulator in the door without
removing the regulator if you can figure out how to get the bolts that
hold the moter to the regulator. inside the door.
