i cant open near side back door of my vauxhall astra 2002, the lock is stuck midway & will not open at all in winter, ive had this problem for a couple of years but in the summer the lock works perfectly? any idea why
Check connections between door and door post, usually covered with a rubber boot, check connections for signs of corrosion, I use a spray contact cleaner on mine. then make sure all moving parts in the door are greased up, small parts wd40 can work well, you need to get rid of any moisture in the mechanism, that probably freeze in winter. But contacts first, in winter they would contract, and if they have a small amount of corrosion, could be going open cct in winter.
