Power door locks switch problem

[FirebirdHatesRice]

Alright, here's the problem.
A few days ago, my power door locks worked fine...today, I went to unlock the doors from the drivers side switch but they won't work. It locks the doors fine, but won't unlock them. The thing is, the passenger side switch does both the lock and unlock fine. What could be going wrong? Could it be the cold weather causing any problems?

Could be a bad switch. You can get a new one from GM for about $10.

Rip it out, and get a soda can. Tear off the top soda can tab, get some snips and pliers. Your lock switch likely still works, it's just that a contact is off center and not clicking. You need to shim the switch with the soda can top so that it works. Trust me. I did mine, worked for about a year and half, now I've got to do it again. Figures.

I just picked up a new power doorlock switch for my Bird from a local GM dealer.
The GM part # is: 10402843
The list price is $8.89

I'd rather put in a new switch than start putting pieces of a soda can in my car, but that's just me. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
