Keep the Vidoes coming brother love it really helpful....from🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
Good Day, sending a big THANK YOU for this video from here in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 . Your a mind reader. I have been experiencing this problem for lil over a week now, a true life saver. Continue the great work !!!!!
You're welcome Mario and hello to everyone in the Bahamas.
This video is so helpful!
I'm doing this job today for the 1st time on my 97 SL.
Just be careful when you use the hammer to open the plastic housing... I must have hit it too hard because I kind of broke the base plate. Nothing a little glue and aluminum tape couldn't fix.
Thanks so much for this reference it's invaluable to our 3000GT community.
Have had a '93 VR4 and now a '97 VR4 with this problem. Sold the '93 without fixing but keeping the '97. Will perform the fix. You're correct, no one has done as complete a 'how-to' video as you have. And you are a great teacher as well. Thank you for you efforts on producing this video!
Thank you.
Just did this fix on my 99 base model in an attempt to fix the quick lock and unlock problem. You must do both sides, as both motors were causing issues. Thanks for this in depth tutorial!
I got the same car and I need to do my soon, I'm starting to worry i might get locked out of my car lol
This is the best car repair video I've ever seen. Props to you and the camera guy. I bought a cheap 94 3000gt and it has a mild version of this problem. It locked itself with the keys in it while it was running last night so I'm watching this to fix it today. Thank you!
Joe: The most patient tech in the world! THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!!!
Outstanding. Literally unplugged the electrical connection last week due to chatter. Job for the weekend now.
Chicago USA.....Joe I'm always impressed with your knowledge and teaching skills. I have the same issue with the passenger door and sometimes it's a royal a pain to set my alarm. Now that the weather is warming up a bit, this will be one of MANY repair projects. Great camera work Martin.......Thank You Bros
Thank you for your support.
Hello!
I just bought a '95 model, and I'm in the process of saving it.
Your videos are amazing.
Well thought out, thoroughly explained, and simply discussed.
Please keep up the good work!
Thanks!
So much thanks: I even removed the carpet to check every inch of the wires to find the problem, with no luck. I have 3 cars and on 2 of them, I have the same problem. Thanks again.
I have a "98" that I have personally kept It almost like new and I am starting to have the door lock issue except that when I unlock it it locks back almost immediately most of the time now and I have removed the door panels and looked to see what is involved in taking out the door locks even removing the control switch and the long arms back to the lock, But I was not brave enough to remove the lock like you have shown because of it's complexity. Thank you soooo very much for your expert knowledge and teaching ability. You are my Hero! I now have no issues in finishing my attempt in removing and repairing my door lock issue. Please keep the video's coming. The wiper videos were also helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback.
I have the same issue on the same year car. Did this resolve it?
@@bronsen842 do you have this issue like mine, that when you try to unlock the doors with a key and it just instantly locks all the doors again. But not like in the video (multiple times locking and unlocking), for me it's only once, it stays locked. Have you fixed it ?
I just assembled mine earlier today and came out great. The only challenge I was having was hammering the unit. I have a 95 vr4 and it took a long time to open. I ended up hammering a metal sharp thin putty knife and that did the job...but overall all the steps worked great!
Just did this on my passenger door...great video but some tips: 1) easier to remove the clip off the top rod with the window down and using the hook tool at the top of the window cavity. 2) After removing all the plastic clips from the rods and all the bolts, I pulled the assembly to the large cavity then I removed the harness using slip joint pliers to push the tab, then I used a ratchet with a phillips head bit inside a 1/4" socket and removed the 2 screws holding the actuator to the door latch...therefore didn't have to remove the entire actuator/latch from the door. 3) I used a chisel and hit the actuator on the seams of the actuator to break it loose. 4) I installed felt pads used for furniture instead of rubber. 5) I used rubbing alcohol to clean the rubber residue since I didn't have any acetone. 6) Installing the rod inside the top clip is more difficut than removing it...if not able to do it from the top window cavity with the window down, roll the window up and remove the 2 nuts at the top holding the bar in front of the window and slide it to the right a few inches, then you should be able to reach your and up to put the rod inside the clip. Next, I'm going to repair the actuator on the driver's door even though it's working because eventually will fail.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing such a great step by step explanation. Will be doing this repair on my 99vr4 in the near future.
Great fix again. I fixed mine a while back by drilling a small hole through the end,inserted a screw and used the end of that screw as a stopper for the switch. Should last longer than the rubber and is also adjustable without taking the locks out again. This video is still the proper way to repair the lock though. (note I still had to take it apart to see how it worked and align the screw though)
Best GTO channel out there thank you so much
Thank you for the feedback
Cheers Joe for this one 🇬🇧
Going to have a bash this weekend 👍
You advise and help has saved me so much
This is glorious. This problem drives me bonkers. Just need some time to do this repair. Thank you.
You're welcome George. Consider joining the forum and let me know how you get on. Joe
Your videos are great, thank you,
In the process now of installing the new mast on my vr4. Only thing left is to feed the mast….
Cheers joe,
priceless information
You're welcome as always Cameron.
I don’t have this issue with my 3000gt, never seen this before and it’s kinda scary sounding to me However in case It happens I’ll know. Just love all your videos so so watch all of them. Keep it up you’re awesome
Thank you. Was looking exactly for this video. You made my day.
Outstanding information and presentation is understandable. Thank you. 1994 Base.
You are right I need it now. I have the same problem. Thank you so much for the video
Your awesome for this video ! Seriously a Mitsubishi hero you are!
Thanks Dusty.
I just want to Thank for your videos they are very helpful
Thanks for posting.... for my purposes, the Eclipse/Talon/Laser platform is exactly the same even the actuator looks identical.
Thank you soo much for this video helped a lot.
Legend, thanks for the video
Once again, great guide. Love it
Thanks.
Which country are you in Mazen?

@@3000GTGTORestoration Hereby done, although i dont own a GTO yet, i probably will oneday. AND I hope you are still going strong at that point :)
Thank you my door makes the same sound!!
Great tutorial. I don’t have this issue but at least I’ll know what to do if it starts.
Happy to have found your channel, having owned my GTO for 11 years it’s almost ready to be back on the road after quite a few years. I’ve done a lot of cleaning/restoration so looking forward to your future videos.
Do you break some for parts? I’ll need to check my list of parts I’m still looking for.
Hi
Welcome to the channel. You may be interested my new forum which has a parts for sale section. It's free to join.

I’ve been finding your videos very helpful for my 92 GTO and have some questions, some even related to this video:
1. My passenger side locks remotely but the driver side only locks with the key. Locking the driver’s side door does lock the passenger door. Is that normal or can I get my driver’s side door to lock remotely?
Big reason I ask is because my security system can lock automatically when I turn my car off… well, the passenger side at least.
2. Power mirrors work but will no longer fold/unfold. Is there a fuse or relay to check or replace ? Mirror adjustment works fine.
3. Possibly wishful thinking, adding a remote actuator to the rear hatch.
Look at all those 3000GT’s!
Hey there! Anyway you can do a video showcasing how to remove the Foglight bulbs and adapt the harness that's in the car to the new spade connectors? I've ordered some new Fog Light assemblies for my GTO and need to replace the lights too. Thanks! The videos have been a great help in restoring my own GTO!
Perfect Thank you.
You're welcome
Hi Joe,
Thanks for this helpful video. I think it will save a lot of money for many of us.
Isn't there an error in the forum address in your scrolling message? For those who try to go to the forum take the url in the description ;)
Hi.
Well spotted. It will be corrected on the next videos.
@@3000GTGTORestoration Oh and by the way, thank you for the forum, I am a member of another forum of this kind (for the Ford probe) and it's more than useful! Information and exchanges with members are sometimes the only solution to keep our dear old cars on the road!
This was a wonderful educational video for door locks. Thank you very much!
I have another request, (Gold wolf USA) could you show us how to remove and replace all the weather strips? From the windows to the doors to the trunks to the windshield? I went to look at a beater GTO and was deterred from buying it because the previous owners did not take care of many things, weather stripping being a very noticeable thing. All the internal door components obviously rusted and needed work because of that. When I eventually buy one, I’d like to know how to replace those parts.
Cheerio!
Most of these items were already covered in side window removal and finding leaks. Check out those videos first. I think they will cover what you need to know.
3000GT / GTO Restoration Thanks so much for your replies! Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos i haven’t seen yet!
Dude thank you so much
You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Hello my friend, I have a question for you. Seeing that you own so many GTO’s, can you tell me your experience on how long on average the engines and transmissions last on those GTO’s? At what average mileage does each of those components tend to require a rebuild or replacement?
The cars on sale here in the USA for low prices all have tons and tons of mileage. I’m afraid if I buy one, it will die very soon afterwards. I don’t mind working on the non essential parts like the body and interior, or even the accessory’s like the brakes, alternator and serpentine belts, but my mechanic skills are not at a master level yet and I don’t have the crane and other big tools needed for engine and transmission work. If you could do a short video on your experience with these two components answering my question that would be greatly appreciated!
I love your channel! You do such a great job explaining and video capturing the fixes! You make me want to buy a 3000GT and restore it to its former glory!
Hello Gold wolf
In my experience, the engine will go on forever if properly maintained, driven and unmodified. I know a couple of people with 500,000 miles and no problems but I know others that are constantly modifying the engines and blow them up with 70,000 miles. Look for a car that has not been tampered with in any way. Look inside the cam cover to make sure it is clean and without any black deposits. Check the owner is not the sort to race away from every stop light. This will put a heavy load on the big end shells and gearbox. I think the video idea is a good one and I will put one together soon. Regards. Joe
Is there a way to open the passenger door when neither handle work?
Just attempted today… going to try again after ordering some 3mm thick rubber. However I was wondering if one of the locks has gooey rubber will this make both of the locks act up? Should I check fuses and relays?
It may. I would not waste time looking elsewhere until you have sorted the mechanism.
Could this be related to a similar issue when trying to unlock a door with a key it re-locks all doors but does it once (not like: unlock - lock - unlock and etc how you have it in the video). Mine just locks it once, and it stays locked untill I again try to unlock it with a key and than it locks again.
Thanks
Anyone know where to buy the rubber?
I'm trying to find a good source for this as well. Have you had any luck?
man you are amazing
Thank you.

Hi do u know we're I could get the rubber bushes from for the Central locking from please
Do you mean the ones that I show you how to make in the video?
Does the mk1 gto come with door locks because I have the modules on the door I believe but no wiring beyond this?
All of my mk1s have electric door locks so I assume that they all have them but I am not that much of an authority on the subject.
@@3000GTGTORestoration thanks for the reply. do all of yours have the central locking module behind the rear speaker for the keyless entry? as I got no wiring for that either, spent ages trying to find info on why my car has switches and parts on it but not a complete set of.
None of them have keyless entry.
@@3000GTGTORestoration I mean the keyfob for unlocking, there's normally a central locking module behind the rear speaker which you program to a fob. Keep up the videos and thanks for the reply appreciated.
How did you know??? My passenger side lock does this but only like 4 times and then its gets the hint...now I'm gonna have to take it apart! lol
Im having this exact problem with my Dodge Stealth r/t but for me but whenever i unlock my driver side door then both of my door locks from the passenger and driver side begin to chatter open and closed really fast. Would this mean both of them are bad? Or since 1 is bad it will cause both of them to do that Chatter?? I posted a video on my channel of the problem
Hi Alex. It will cause both locks to chatter if only one is faulty. I would recommend doing both locks anyway.
3000GT / GTO Restoration Hmmm okay its most likely my drivers side that is faulty then but thank you for this video. You made it look a lot easier than it looks like on the forums 😂
Alex Villalobos I totally agree, there is nothing better that a visual tutorial. You can pause, rewind and follow along much easier, which is why I love these videos. A BIG plus for the 3S community.
Does anyone know if its 3mm hard rubber or can I use the 3mm soft rubber like from a yoga matt?
It is similar to inner tube rubber
@@3000GTGTORestoration where do you source it from?
Try ebay
Would you be willing to repair if shipped to you. Just name your price. I have tried this and it got better instead of chattering over and over it stops after 2 times.
Please could you contact me via the forum. We can't have open discussions and post personal information on RUclips. Thanks
