This one is fairly straightforward. Your car door lock has some sort of actuator located just below or just to the side of the door lock mechanism. The door lock consists of a set of geared, jaws that pop and are held open until the trigger trips and the jaws grab the striker located on the door post.

The actuator is either manual or electric. In a manual actuator, a rod reacts to the motion of the slide latch or the motion of the external key. In this case, gearing multiplies the force acting on the rod so that it can push the trigger button on the rear of the door lock housing. If the actuator is electric, the rod is activated by the actuator motor and its movement is controlled by gearing within the actuator motor housing. In any event, the actuator rod presses down upon the trigger and the door button pops open when you use the slide latch or door key.

At least, that's what is supposed to happen. In your case, I think the actuator is probably gone and must be replaced. You can actually do this job yourself if you are comfortable with tools and with removing door panels and things. The actuator is relatively easy to access, once you have removed the interior door panel. The issue is just the amount of labor that will be involved just getting to the actuator. It is the type of repair that you should actually leave to a mechanic. We've pointed out the do-it-yourself possibilities because there are many people who enjoy this work.

Sounds like you need to replace the power door lock actuator for the driver's door.

3. When installing, move the actuator and linkage to the locked position.
4. Connect the linkage to the actuator and loosely install with the screws.
5. Compress the actuator drive to take out any play in the linkage and tighten the screws.
6. Test the locks and install the door panel.

E36 Models

1. Remove the door panel and water shield.

Hope this helps.

The most likely cause is a failed blend door actuator; however I recommend a little troubleshooting. First, can you hear a clicking sound behind the dash when you turn the setting to hot? If yes, it is certainly the actuator stripping its gears. If not, check to make sure the heater hoses are both hot as they connect to the heater core at the firewall (in the engine compartment). If one or both of the hoses do not get hot, there is a blockage caused either by an air bubble or a stuck water control valve in the heater hose. If the hoses are both hot, the indication is again the blend door actuator.

Below are instructions for replacing the actuator. Look at the diagrams carefully--the big arrows point to the front of the truck and the actuator is on the side of the heater box above the outlet duct that runs to the driver's side of the floor. Also, the actuator is expensive, so I recommend you make sure it's bad and shop around a bit to get a good price. To check out the actuator, first see if you can turn the blend door by hand. If you can't turn it, maybe it's jammed. Also, reconnect the actuator after removing it and see what it does when you turn the heater to hot.

Removal & Installation

1. Remove the floor air outlet duct extension (1) from the floor duct (2).

The toughest part for most first timers is step #2 because all too often they have never seen this type of connection of two or three metal rods held together with a plastic clip

the thing to remember is that the clip is just that...clipped on. Once you unclip the plastic connection you then remove one rod at a time

good luck and keep us posted

Look ,behind the glove box,on top of the hac box,toward the center of the truck,it is a flat box,with a multiple wire plug in it,it is the temp door actuator motor,that turns as you select the cold,to hot selection,it may not be turning all the way for hot.You can remove this motor,and turn it,yourself to see,it is hard to do,because it is ressesed in the box.
