Thread: Inoperable NX door locks/handles?

Dealt with this issue on both the driver's side and passenger side. Putting this tip out there in case anyone else has issues with this, may save some broken electric door lock actuators and time/stress. If you are having this issue, roll down the window, push the door card away from the edge of the sill near the door handle/lock. Get a flashlight, and peek into the gap where the window sits. You will see several different linkages, the door lock actuator, the lock itself, and the door handle/spring. Get some pb blaster/WD40 etc and spray the shit out of the door handle spring. Work the handle up and down to get the spring nice and coated. This should help/prevent door lock issues now and in the future.

We used white lithium grease on those when I worked at Nissan. PB Blaster/WD40 work great to free up sticking parts too! The white lithium grease seemed to last a bit longer because it sprayed on a little thicker but it also made more of a mess and doesn't look good, imo.

Dry Lube spray works....and no mess
