lock switch vibrates too much

[andrew84tran]

when i crank up the bass in my civic, the door tab (lock switch) vibrates waaaay 2 much.. it seriously is louder than my music and i got no idea how fix the problem!
can someone help me...

[jrz11a]

[andrew84tran]

unfortunately, no!

HEY, ME TOO! on the drivers side on myEK.. just happened recently.. and if i dont lock it makes this annoying tick tick tick when it vibrates..... someone got a fix for this? otherwise mite have to take off the door panels n see wots up :/ (which i really hate, all that gooey stuff is darn messy)

[nobbs]

hey i had that problem too but with both my doors, it was hell annoying, i recently had to take my door trims off to get them trimmed and when i put the trims back on it went away, dont ask me how but the noise is gone now....

good luck with getting rid of it guys

i had it on my passenger side door, put double side tape (spongy type) onto the back of the outside handle and its fine now

[luzinit]

does anyone get this problem, whereby if the doors are currently locked, then u try to open the door handle, then theres no way u can get out, except by winding down the windows and using the outside door handle?

[andrew84tran]

lol.. i dont get it..
y cant u just unlock ur door, and then open it?

obviously if its locked from the inside, you cant open it from the outside..you have to unlock it (pull the tab up) no mattet what to get out..

[bennjamin]

same here guys.....OFCOURSE due to recently attempted break-ins etc.

Grr.

in regards to the vibrating, are you sure its the door lock?
maybe it is the metal rod inside the door thats connected to the lock... well thats what it was in m case. all i did was wrap the metal rods in electricity tape and it stopped it from rattling.

[andrew84tran]

im pretty sure..i took off the door panel and cushioned the metal rod using sum tape/foam as well..but its still vibrating/rattling

[Per10d]

yeh for me i just had to tape it up well, it added weight to the rod and pretty much stopped all rattles.
well good luck fixing it anyways dood.

Um with my alarm and central locking (OEM ?) it seems that the inside door-lock tabs are either disabled, or have broken.. I cannot lock my car from the inside - which is a bit dodgy IMO.. but yeah my tabs rattle like crazy !!

when I removed the door-liner, the metal rod was just there dangling around on it's own and it appears the plastic tabs had broken where the rod joins up to the tab.. so now the tab is just rattling around on it's own..
