Door Lock on a '79 CorvetteI had this same problem on my '79. I found that it was the latch not getting out of the way so that the lock can move. I know this sounds strange, but sometimes the latch gets stuck part way through its motion and this will not let the locking device move.

Cure: I sprayed lots of ether (or degreaser or carburetor cleaner), using that little red tube, into the latch unit. This rinses off the old sticky dirty dried out lube. Then I sprayed in a little lube like WD40. Next "flick" the outside handle a few times. Next use the key to move the lock back and forth. It took a couple of tries but the door works fine now.

same m8 mine waz da same n i did wot u did n it work ed trust him

How do you turn off a 1979 Corvette alarm?

On my 79 Corvette, the alarm system is activated when you lock the car with you key from outside the car. The alarm, if tripped, can only be disactivated by inserting your key in the lock mechanism and turned counter clock wise as if unlocking the door. NOTE, the alarm cannot be acivated by locking the door from the inside without use of your key. Don.
