@William - As far as the night light auto switch goes, if it works well, it would be awesome. I like it on my vehicles which came with it (factory installed). One thing I particularly like is the "if the windshield wipers are on, it switches the lights on" aspect. I believe every car should have this feature built in. Headlights on while it's raining is very much a safety item in my book.
The reviews seem pretty positive.
Anyway, I'm back to working on this new block I got.
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 I was a little confused about the flat tappet/roller cam part, I hadn't heard those terms before, at least in English, from a quick search they seem like the parts that reach the valves? I thought the block would have the holes for those already in the right measures? What did you mean with drilling it?
sorry for taking a while to answer, haven't been able to log in often enough here :p
The family vehicle out here is a 2010 Buick Lucerne. About two years ago, the left front inner door handle failed and was replaced. Ever since then, every few months, the left front inner door handle has failed again. Fortunately, our mechanic has been good to his word and has replaced the fai...
@Shalvenay - I don't know for sure, but it would seem to me there might be an issue with the linkages inside the door. Maybe they aren't aligned correctly or they aren't being contained correctly?
If the linkages were not contained correctly, they could be aiding in the handle having to pull the load, then ultimately causing it to wear out and go screwy on you.
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 that could very well be. wonder if there are any door-handle-rigging-experts floating around this Stack :) who might be able to give a detailed answer though, something that we can print and hand to the mechanic and go "hey, try checking X, Y and Z"
@Shalvenay - Probably not. My suggestion is to find a schematic of the interior door workings and see if the linkage going from the handle to the door latch has something holding it in place like I'm describing. Without seeing the interior of the door, it would be hard to come up with an answer for you.
Have you done any checking to see if anyone else with your year of Lucerne has the same problem?
