DOORS

Caution : Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting this cable will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DOOR LOCK STRIKER

The front and the rear door lock strikers each consist of a striker with two screws threaded into a floating cage plate in the B-pillars and C-pillars. The door is secured in the closed position when the door lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.

CHILDPROOF REAR DOOR LOCK

The childproof rear door locks help prevent passengers, especially children, from opening the rear doors of the vehicle from the inside.

In order to activate these locks, move the levers of both rear doors to the lock position. Then, close both doors. Rear passengers will be unable to open the doors from inside of the vehicle.

In order to deactivate the childproof rear door lock, unlock the door from the inside of the vehicle and open the door from the outside. Move the lever to the unlock position. The rear door will now work normally.

POWER DOOR LOCKS

The power door locks use a solenoid that is contained in each door lock assembly. The door locks are activated by the actuator on the inside door handle or by the lock cylinder on the driver's door only. When the driver's door is locked or unlocked by the actuator or the lock cylinder, all the doors are locked or unlocked accordingly.

POWER WINDOWS

The power windows are controlled by electrical switches on the door panels and are operated by a motor at each window regulator. Each door has a switch to control its window, and the driver's door has four switches to control all door windows on the vehicle. The windows are lowered by pressing down on the switch and are raised by pulling up on the switch. The window will stop movement when the switch is released or when the window is completely open or closed.

The driver's window operates automatically. By pressing and releasing the switch, the driver's window will lower. It will stop only when the switch is activated again or when the window is completely open. By pulling and releasing the switch, the window will rise and will stop only when the switch is activated again or when the window is completely closed.

The driver's door control also contains a button that, when pressed, will prevent the operation of the windows in the front passenger door or the rear door.

Installation Notice

Tightening Torque

24 N•m (18 lb-ft)

Notice : Dissimilar metals in direct contact with each other may corrode rapidly. Make sure to use the correct fasteners to prevent premature corrosion.

Remove the door lock striker.
Installation should follow the removal procedure in the reverse order.

DOOR LOCK STRIKER ADJUSTMENT

The door lock striker consists of a striker with two screws that are threaded into a tapped, floating cage plate located in the appropriate body pillar. This floating cage plate allows the striker to be easily adjusted in or out and up or down. The door is secured in the closed position when the door lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.

Notice : The door lock striker is an important attaching part that can affect the performance of vital components and systems and can cause major repair expenses. If replacement becomes necessary, the door lock striker must be replaced by one with the same part number or with an equivalent. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or of a substitute design. The specified torque values must be used during reassembly in order to ensure the proper retention of the part.

Up/Down or In/Out Adjustment

An adjustment of the striker in the up and down or in and out directions may be necessary for a number of reasons: vehicle frame damage as the result of a collision, installation of new door weatherstripping, customer complaints of excessive windnoise, or difficulty in opening or closing the door. In order to adjust the door striker in an up and down or in and out direction, perform the following procedure:

The door must be properly aligned.
Loosen the striker screws.
The floating cage plate can be moved slightly using the ends of the striker screws. Move the floating cage plate to the desired position.

Notice : It is important to use a flat-end rotary file in order not to damage the tapped floating cage plate. The striker screws and the tapped floating cage plate are important attaching parts that could affect the performance of vital components and systems.

If proper adjustment requires that the floating cage plate be moved more than is possible, use an electric hand drill and a 3/8-inch rotary file with a flat head in order to enlarge the body opening in the direction required.
Tighten the striker screws to the correct position.
