bustaru Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I have a '98 Legacy GT sedan, and the power locks are only half functional, in that they lock the doors but won't unlock them. The same behavior happens on the driver and passenger side control panel. You can hear a noise when you press the unlock button, but nothing happens. Has anyone seen this before? Is it something anyone can fix, or do I need a professional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samkivi Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I had a similar problem when my car when into a river (!), the actuators seized up, you can try taking each one out and working their action and maybe lubing them. It's pretty easy to take off the boor, getting the actuators out might be at a tricky angle though. I replaced mine by finding second hand replacements at auto part shops.

Not a bad fix, I did mine in under 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
