DIFFICULT OPERATION OF THE POWER DOOR LOCK
AFFECTED VINS
This bulletin applies to vehicles with a VIN of JM1BG****M0235750 or lower produced through, February 29, 1992.

DESCRIPTION
On some vehicles, the power door lock may be difficult to operate. The door key cylinder may be difficult to turn or the lock button may be difficult to
operate.
This is due to e actuator rod absorbing water and swelling. The swelling causes increased resistance between the rod, gear and drum within the actuator.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
If this condition exists, replace the actuators (passenger and rear doors) with the modified parts.
Removal and installation procedures are outlined in Section S of the applicable Workshop Manual.
