Default Re: Rear Latch....HELP!

OK That wasn't so bad after all. Had I not dropped a nut and fished for it for an hour, it would have taken about 2 hours. Most of that was trying to figure out how to get everything apart.

BUT.......

I have a new problem. Now whenever any door is locked, the rear hatch latch gets tripped and it pops open. Basically, the truck cannot be locked. I can lock the four front doors, but if I do and the back hatch is closed, it will not only not lock, it will pop open. UUUUUUGH!

Anybody come across this?

Rob

UPDATE: It seems the new part pulls the lock cable farther than the old one when it is in its normal position. Consequently, the lock is nearly "popped" at all times. When the car gets locked, the mechanism that stops the latch from working moves the cable just enough to cause the lock to pop. UGH. What a PITA.
