Subject: POWER DOOR LOCKS - INTERMITTENT UNLOCKING
Models
Affected: 1988 FIREBIRD
Difficulties in unlocking doors with Power door locks on 1988 Firebirds may be due to an insufficient bend in the lock knob to door lock rod.
Note: Manual unlocking of the door is not affected, only unlocking when using power door lock switches.
This condition can be identified (after door trim panel removal) by a gap between the rear end of the slot on the power door lock bellcrank and the bend on the door locking rod when in locked position.
New lock rods are available from GMSPO to correct this condition and the part numbers are as follows:
P/N 10131128 Right Side Locking Rod
P/N 10131129 Left Side Locking Rod
Use applicable labor operation number and labor time.
