ArdWrknTrk Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 My driver's door cylinder will lock, but NOT UNlock the door. I took it apart today and it appears the plastic clip is mangled. Obviously, I've done this to myself but I can't find a source for them (or a reference to them in the aftermarket) Does anyone know where to find one, or have another number that works and is available?

viven44 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 The exact thing happened on my 84 Bronco.... a lot of WD-40 will free up any binding.. thats all I needed on my 84 Bronco. One of these will work, if this is what you are referring to.... I've used this set once https://www.autozone.com/collision-body-parts-and-hardware/door-lock-rod-clip/p/dorman-help-door-lock-rod-clip-75450/426081_0_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Jim, I will have to look for them, but I believe I have some extra door lock cylinders that I can cannabalize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will order in another one and see if we anything begins to fit, but I think that's how I ended up here, begging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyn Blin Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 When I insulated my door, I found most of mine had deformed or split. I found mine in the Dorman catalogue and unexpectedly on Amazon. Is this what you're looking for? Dorman 75451 Edit- others beat me to it OE: E6AZ 5421952A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is any amount of binding that plastic clip will be destroyed instantly. Don't ask me how I know it ... Well, my tailgate has no clip now.... I just grab the rods and pull it.. It is an anti-theft feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an anti-theft feature Well, not my tailgate, because I have an 87 and the mechanism is completely different, but I will give 75451 a try. I definitely don't ever use oil on things like this. The dust and grit sticks and eats soft bushings instantly, but I will use powdered graphite or Teflon spray for sure. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
