Just bought an 89 LX 5.0 vert. The horn keeps blowing fuses, the right rear window needs a new motor, the passenger door will only open from inside unless I use the key, and the power door lock button doesn't open from the drivers side. The motor is just a pain to fix but I know how to fix it. Any ideas on the other issues? the door lock and horn are not really top priority right now. Could the door lock actuator be bad?

when you push the door lock button on the passenger side do the locks pop up on both sides or just the passenger side??

When I push the unlock button on the drivers side nothing happens, but it will lock. The passenger button will both lock and unlock both doors, but the passenger door can't be opened from the outside. I think the drivers door button is just worn out.

replace button the latch/outer door handle may need replacing if the linkage didn't fall off

I can open the passenger door from the outside if I push in on the handle and then pull up. Been busy with other things and forgot about this thread.

sounds like it needs a new handle assembly, you'll need a big rivet gun for the task

if you dont want to buy the rivet gun you can always bolt in the handles. but harbor freight has a cheap rivet gun.

the actuators on my fox were seizing. i just knocked out the center of the rivet in the door and then drilled it out. popped off the door panel and pull the actuator out. no more power locks ftw!
