The dealership was going to charge me $860 + tax to replace the part and I was going to have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment. Add $100 for towing and I was looking at at least $1000 and weeks without my car. A disaster for an Uber driver. Thanks to your video I fixed it myself for free in ten minutes. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't even remove the mechanism. I just noted the position of the locking pin from the video, doused the area where pin should be and gently tapped with a hammer.

Nothing worked like disconnecting the battery and so on. Car was towed to my house after waiting 4 hours for the tow truck. Still have the error message and it will not turn over or start. I don't have the tools to make a notch to remove the mechanism and will try just spraying it without taking it out. I know from this video that it's correctable and thank you so much.

Guys. If someone having problem with the mechanism, if still dont come out with tapping. Just try to open the body cover with drilling where its bended. Inside you have electronic board and electro motor. Check first the motor with any power supply that have 12v. That is the first problem. Then, on the board you have micro switch, check that also. Mine was stuck, and i cleaned the micro switch with cleaner spray for electronics. Good luck!

I keep a pair of needle-nose pliers, hammer, and WD-40 in my LR2. This lock jams up all the time in the cooler temperatures. Basically need the pliers to pull the lock hard from being seized up. Hammer helps too thought I try to use it as little as possible given the potential impact on the electronics. I wrapped mine in bubble wrap and left it in the dash for easier access. Seems like my old friend that keeps coming back to haunt me in the cooler weather.
