Affected: 1982-88 J2000/SUNBIRD WITH POWER DOOR LOCKS
Some J2000/Sunbird models with power door locks may have a condition of sticking or binding of the front door lock/locks when operating the power lock option.
The condition may be repaired by removing the trim pad and crimping the bellcrank butterfly opening as shown in the figure.
Crimp the opening about 2 mm (5/64") at a time and try the lock operation after each crimp until satisfactory operation is achieved.
Use applicable labor operation and labor time.
