After prying my door open due to extreme cold and ice, my handle doesn't work properly. It has too much play, and doesn't unlatch until I pull it all the way up. Tried an eBay replacement, same problem. So I tried the easy fix: placing a small bolt and nut into the slot on the lever rod (as described in various threads and you tube videos). It worked great, and the door opened with a halfway pull of the handle like it's supposed to. But my power locks won't work like this. I hit the button and it won't lock on the repaired side. I hear the actuator buzzing but it won't lock. I had to remove the bolt for now and deal with the loose handle. Has anyone else who's tried this repair encountered this?
