Default RE: door lock malfunction

Hey there guy: If it's like my 81 then just go into the door panels and get ahold of the connecting rod that is between the power lock switch and the tumbler. Bend that rod so it is shorter and causes there to be less travel betwwen the two. Then the key will actually unlock fully instead of partially. Make sure all the parts are connected and functioning properly, ie rods, door lock motor and wiring, fuses, door lock relay, and any connection points. Good luck with that........
