Here is a pic of the current lock. Looks like there is something missing? How does it hook into the actuator? My problem was that the lock would never pop up the lock so Im lost at to how i fix it at this point.

Please help

 

Yes you are missing the actuator that slides over the end of the lock. It is held on by a clip aswell. What year and model do you have. I don't have a picture yet, but let me do a quick look.....

Yep, you are missing the arm on the back.
Something similar to this, but this is not your model obviously.

 

Something told me look at the bottom of the door and bingo its there now the problem i have now is i don't have the clip. please say this is something i can get at autozone or some happy parts store.

 

I cannot even find a happy parts store around here...

 

Thanks Rob, you are quick. I had the same problem. My passenger side lock would not work. I was missing the actuator / pawl / tang. I got a pair of clip and actuators from a member here for free. I bought a new set of locks and they came bare. If I had a spare mail it to you. I had my car for about 10 years before I could unlock the door from the outside.

Leroycjr, I have a brand newclip for you. I just replaced my door locks and I used only one of the clips.Its yours at no charge. Just give me you address and I will mail it to you. I also see that you are in Matteson. My sister in law lives there. And my wife is originally from the South side of Chicago. We wiil be in Matteson the weekend of July 4th. My wife parents are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary.
