So am trying to get the door locks working properly. I've just replaced a busted handle, but the mechanism itself was also acting wonky.

After some effort I extracted the whole mechanism from the door.



Any suggestions on how to test it to make sure its working properly?
(assuming that I didn't wreck it in the process of getting it out, which was a btch to do...)

I was going to de-gunk it with some sort of aerosol cleaner and then lube it back up before re-installing it. I've cracked open the motor housing, and it looks pretty good in there (no dirt the screw mechanism seems in good shape).

thx,
juan
