deadlocks?

now correct me if im wrong here but i thought when you dead lock your car if someone breaks a window and lifts up the latch thingy then the door wont open, anyways today i thought id do a quick test deadlocked the car left the rear window open stuck my hand in pulled up that latch and i could open the door as usual

that rear door didnt open tho, is it broken or something or is that how they are designed?

Re: deadlocks?

so did the door open or not?!

sometimes the micro switch falls off or something and stops the deadlocks working. Dunno about any 'how to' on fixing it though.

Re: deadlocks?

if it pulled up but didn't unlock then that's fine.

It just has a spring that lets you pull it up so you can't force it

Re: deadlocks?

well as far as i can remba none of the other doors unlocked when i did this and i just opened the door, i think the door has been opened before so i guess when i get the time ill check its all in order

btw couldnt open that back door tho, the thing popped up like it was loose and the door remained shut
