Seasillmaggee Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Im unable to open either of the rear doors. Upon further examination it appears at least one of the hinges is cut, and possibly another is cut and removed. I would like to use the doors, but scared to open it just to have the door fall off and be unable to put it back. The car has pwr dlocks too. Ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 If the hinges are cut, it's best to get this problem resolved. Bad day if the doors break off while going down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thwre is a switch that disables the power locks for the back doors iirc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Dawg Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Child safety locks... little black switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasillmaggee Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 no... Its not child safety locks... Cant open inside or outside...someone tried to tango with it i can tell they messed with it.havent had time to dig too deep, but remiving a door card with the door shut isnt too fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferp420 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I have the same issues my back doors wont open ether but i sure it has to do with the fact that they were welded shut funny no windows ether huh no seats ether besides who needs back doors anyway lol and my outback has the exsact opposite problem there are no doors left to open or close so i guess im sayin who needs any doors anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Ok, always good to check the simple things first.... I never had to deal with your problem, but I'd look at removing the seat to make getting the door cards off easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasillmaggee Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well i did get the door cards out. Theres a rod that moves straight down when i use the handle, but the part its connected to isnt moving, so that leaves me to think the latch mechanism to the striker bolt is the problem.

Seasillmaggee Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Havent had too much time. Im doing a head gasket on our van. Poor subie is on the back burner... And looked under the oil cap recently on the subaru and there is fresh water droplets. Looks like perhaps yet another headgasket is in my future...

DaveT Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 maybe, maybe not. If it's exposed to extreme temperature cycles, and little driving, a little water on the oil cap I've seen. The normal tell for headgasket to cooling system leak is air getting pushed into the coolant, not the coolant into the oil. Except for 1 very bad overheat with low coolant have I seen that.

Seasillmaggee Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well that makes me feel a little better. Idled it for 30 mins watching radiator for bubbles and none were there. No overheating at all. No white smoke at startup, no symptoms. hooray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That is just normal condensation from combustion gases. The filler tube is long, so it gets cooled off, and this condensation occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
