1st malfuction...caused by me..

Take care when unlocking your doors.

Twice now, when unlocking in a hurry and yanking on the handle I've messed up the Aveo locks.

Once on the drivers door, I made it so the door wouldnt unlock or open, but I was able to get it working right again after messing with the handles a bit.

Then yesterday I did the same thing with the hatch, only I heard a pop and the handle went loose.

So I opened the hatch from inside and removed the rear panel.
Luckily, it was just that a rod had popped out of its attachment to the handle - nothing broken.

The little green clip was tricky but once I figured that out it all snapped together and worked fine again.

I did notice that there are wires attached to the latch as if you only need a button to get an electric hatch release.

Oh and to take the rear panel off, press the little center in, on the 4 mounting tabs, and remove 2 screws next to the recessed area. Pretty easy.

I don't have power locks, wish I did.

me too

me 3

me 1000000000000000000000000000th

hell even my 98 escort had a power lock on the drivers door and trunk release button

no power=less weight :P

No power = Less things that can break!

I have a base model with no power anything!

including the engine...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

theres potential though

No, not really :lol: . Yeah, you have potential for a whole whopping 150hp! :lol: :lol: :lol: I love mine anyways though, when I want to go fast I drive my Jetta. It's win-win.

hey 150hp is good for an aveo, no one would ever expect it, maybe a sleeper aveo 8)

Woa, holy hijack batman, lol...

Yep I only have a non-power anything car too.

The wierd thing is the electrical connector and wiring that goes to the latch mechanism.

Yeah that's what I have too

I'm very happy with my Aveo. So 95000 miles of good gas mileage. Now if i want to feel real slow I just go drive my diesel Mercedes.

What year is your mercedes? Is it turbocharged?

1983 and 1985 :|

Ahh I don't think turbo was even a thought back then... that blows.

I think it was made up in the 60's, time for wiki :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

holy ****, 1962, am I good or what? Ahhh and by GM, we should all feel special

turbos were used before then. i think they were first used by english car builders in the 1920s?

they were developed during ww1 for airplanes...

I meant turbos first applications in automobiles

your right, after researching the two cars i thought/believed were turbos. they are both actually supercharged. both in the 1920's though.

Yeah it was in the 80s I believe when trubos where first being manufactured with automobiles. In fact I believe the VW Golf diesel was one of the first cars.
