sleepylegacy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 1990 legacy Wagon LS Well the door locks have to be held down as you lift the lever to get out of the car, and somtimes the doors lock them selfs when opening the doors, I can unlock 1 or all the doors with the driver door using the key. and unlock all the doors with the door lock inside. Anything helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbianchi Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Welcome to the leagacy door lock tango:banana:, what has happend is the spring that returns the door handle to its home position is now resting on the door lock toggle, pushing it to the locked position any time you use the handle:-\. To fix you'll have to pull the door apart and remove the handle/lock and reach inside it with a paper clip or wire and grab the spring, then use the wire to secure the spring away from the lock toggle:eek:. Sounds worse than it is really, getting the door apart is more of a PIA. Just think of it as a safety option you didn't pay for:lol:. Hope this helps...G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) seems to be a common problem on the early Legacy models. after some searching a while back I had found a writeup on how to fix it and it does work! did the job on our 90 L sedan, and going to have to do the LS wagon soon... Here's a link to the write up... http://www.geocities.com/hobiegary/locks.html hope that helps hmmm, might have to get some pics of this procedure one of these days...

sleepylegacy Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 well it is a good thing to have in the back doors for when I drive with lil ones in the car, but the front passenger have a huge prob with it. I call my doors "False Hope of getting out doors" or " pay me before you get out" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
