Rear driver side door lock will not lock / unlock by switch on drivers door or using key in driver's door. I can hear the mechanism in the door attempt to engage but door does not lock or unlock except manually using the "button" on that door.
Repair by shop is cost prohibitive, as vehicle is now 9 years old.
1) How do I remove the interior door panel on the door with the faulty lock to attempt to repair the lock? Other information to help me get to the broken lock.
2) Is this a common problem with S80s with a procedure for a common "fix"? Is the problem likely to require an entire new mechanism?
3) Is this a common problem where replacing the mechinisim with a used part(s) would probably also fail in relatively short order the same way the current lock failed?
