Power Locks
My back door power lock (the one right behind the driver's seat) has been having some issues. When it's really hot outside say.... 80 degrees or hotter when I unlock all the doors that door won't unlock properly. The little **** only turns half way causing the door to stay locked. I have to reach my hand inside and finish pulling it out so that the door can be opened. This only happens when it's hot. Any other time it does just fine. Anyone know what this could be?

When nissans start getting this age, this is the kind of small stuff you have do deal with. When hondas and toyotas start getting to this age you have to start dealing with engine leaks. When gms and fords start getting to this age you have to deal with sh!tty compression, slipping trannys... major issues.
You should count your blessings!

Pop the panel and obsreve the linkage in action, then determine the points that you need to grease in order to get the linkage moving properly again.

The rear is really easy.
1. Remove the handle (NOT the handle that opens the door, but the one that you grab on to inorder to close the door). Pop off the screw cover cap with a flat head, then remove the screw and then the handle.
2. Remove the trim surrounding the silver handle. This can be kind of a b!tch to get out with out braking the thing. Luckly, a new only costs a couple of bucks. You just kind of have to pull at it and wiggle it out. A small screw diver with a rag wrapped on the end of it might help
3. Slowly work your way around the edge of the door poping out the plastic clips. Chances are that a lot of them are old and brittle and might break. I would buy a bag of new ones to replace the ones that break (the new ones are revised too... they come with foam in order to eliminate rattles and ensure a tight fit!! You might just want to replace all of them with the new clips).
