850 Driver's Door.

The driver's door, when opening or closing, at the half-way point where it normally has a "hold" position, makes a very loud metallic click, and you can feel resistance at that point. Is there a spring or something that may have moved? How do I access this? Thanks.

  • Hi David, If you take a look at the front of the door where it is hinged, you will see a double flat bar which extends into the door frame. The first thing to do is spray DW40 or anouther type of good lubricant spray into the slot where this fits. Leave the door for a few minutes and then try it to find out if there is an improvement. If you need to get access to the unit inside the door, you will need to remove the door panel. Remove the screws holding the arm rests and then the interior door release handle, then gently un clip the panel by sliding a flat wide blade between the door and the panel and pull gently towards you until you feel the clip release. Lift the panel over the sill and remove it. Remove the plastic sheet from the door and the you can get to the required part. Unfortunetly

SOURCE: Electronic vent control not working in Volvo S40

Hi,
I think here, by your description, that there might be something that has slipped inside the vent holes from outside. you can try to blow some compressed air through the vent holes at the bottom of the windscreen.
Otherwise you can try to look under the dash, activate the switch and see if you can locate from where the noise is coming and see if you can reach the mechanism that control the vent. Normally it must be moving free. Otherwise your local mechanic should be able to fix that ufor you.
Cheers.

SOURCE: creaky car door

I had the same with my 2 850s. One was the result of the bracket that controls the mechanism that holds the door in two stages of open was cracked. I replaced this bracked by removing the door skin and removing bracket.

The other was a crack in the actual door where this bracket mounts. I removed the door and reinfirced it with some plate welded in and reattached bracket

SOURCE: open door position hold latch snaps real loud

The hinge has most likely broken loose from the door frame. Look at the main body where the slider bar attaches to the body from the door. It is common for the hinge to break loose. It will need to be spot welded back into place to stop the clicking noise. Usualy two clicks when the door opens and then when it closes.

How do I remove the driver side interior door panel on a 2003 Lincoln Navigator/

You don't need to remove the panel. Just spray the latch on the outside with the door open. I would use liquid wrench and open & close the door at least 20 times after it's soaked for a half hour. Don't be afraid to slam it. Also, one time I had to let it soak in overnight before opening/closing it multiple times again.

Mercedes c class 2001 elegance, key fob not working everytime its pressed. I have had the batteries checked and they are still working fine, any advice as to what is causing this?

Most likely needs to be re matched to the car.

Two bits of info off the net for you

C CLASS (1993-1997), E CLASS (1995-1997), SLK (1996-)
Procedure
1. Point the remote control at the receiver - this should be located in the driver's door handle or next to the boot lock button.
2. Press the lock/unlock button.
3. Within 30 seconds manually lock or unlock the vehicle using the passenger's door lock or the boot lock.

1. Place key in ignition lock and turn to position 2 [all ignition lights on]
2: Turn key to off position and remove from ignition.
3. Within 10 seconds:
3a: press the Close [Lock] button and hold it down
3b: while the Close button is still depressed simultaneously press the Open [Unlock] button. Press and release the Open button 5 times [still holding the Close button down]
3c: Release both the Close and the Open buttons at the same time, and immediately push any of the two Open buttons once [i.e. either the Open doors or the Open Tailgate]

This information is for the resetting of a previously synchronised key to match the security system after batteries have been removed or replaced. This information does not work with new keys which it seems must be taken to a person with a key synchronisation device [or a super-ripoff-expensive MB dealer]

hope this helps

Your problem is the door thinks that it is already locked and closed. You need have the sliding door unlocked, have someone pull the handle as if they were going to open the door and then use a tool to "Open" the latch that normally would hold the door closed.

1997 pontaic grand prix driver side window stuck in down position. think switch is bad ,but while waiting for switch is there a way to get window up?

The only way I know to get the window up is to remove the door panel and run the window motor with jumper wires. However, before you replace the switch (which is not usually the problem) you should check the wires on the driver's door between the point where the wires exit the door and enter the kick panel area. It's common for the wires and insulation to break down over the years, and since the driver's door is opened and closed the most, causing the wires to bend back and forth, it is a common failure. The passenger side window uses the wiring in the driver's side door to operate.

Driver side door on 1995 chevy express van will not shut

Chances are the door latch has closed without the door being closed.

Inspect the latch mechanism on the door. I suspect you will find that the latch is in the closed position.

Use a screw driver to take place of the normal jam pin in the latch apply tension ( like the tension that would be present normally opening the door) and actuate the door handle.

Make sure to lubricate once you do get the latch to open.

Step 2: Lock and unlock the driver’s door using the power door lock switch on the door.
