I have a dead central lock module and I am looking to make the car a manual locking car. I don't mind pushing the locks down. The problem is right now I have a driver's lock that if I turn the key to 90 degrees it will sometimes only come back to 45 degrees. I then have to remove the key in the 90 and open the passenger door and pull up on the driver's pin. I then can turn the key back to 0 and remove it. I would like to get rid of what ever causes the lock to get stuck at 45. I think it has to do with the spring on the end of the cylinder. I rebuilt the cylinder 2 years ago and it worked beautiful. Then the module died after a while and now I have this cylinder issue. I would like to go to a fully manual locking car. I don't mind it. After owning this thing for the past 10+ years, I am tired of having lock issues. I am for the simpler life. Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the double lock feature - no longer using Central locking

Couldn't you swap cylinders for one without the double lock ability? I'm thinking maybe us a passenger cylinder vs the double lock driver's.1986 911 Supercharged Frakenstrat/Stripped
