Hello all,
My moms `95 Legacy Wagon L had a new rear door replaced several years ago after some kid at a gas station backed a pickup into her. After all was said and done, the body shop that worked on it, had to get an entirely new rear door and install it.
Now a few years later I'm noticing several small issues stand out. First is the fact that the door will not electronically lock. When she locks all of the doors using the master control on the drivers door, the rear hatch will not lock. In order to lock it, it requires a manual insertion of the key and turning. The second issue I've noticed is that the latch handle for opening the rear hatch is sticking. Something a little WD-40 would fix I assume.
My guess with the locking issue is that a wire is cut, crimped, or just not connected properly. Where would I begin to look about fixing this for her? It's a bit of a nusiance, yet she doesn't want to pay big $$$$ to have it fixed at a shop.
