It may have fallen apart when you put the door back together. Happens more than you'd think.

SOURCE: 2002 Saturn Vue rear passenger door will not lock

It sounds like the the linkage, actuator (power locks), or the mechanism has broken or become dislodged.
On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Pull back the weather seal and you should see everything and hopefully see the cause.

SOURCE: How to remove the rear window wiper on a 1997 wagon

First do not pry on it, you will crack the rear windshield and have a bigger problem. In addition to the little slider lock at the base of the shaft mostly likely the wiper arm is corroded onto the motor/transmission shaft. What I have done successfully is carefully hack saw off the top of the wiper arm over the shaft. The top of the shaft is then exposed, soak it over and over with a penetrant, put a gear puller onto it and pull it off. A new shaft is about $45.00 at saturnparts.net which may be cheaper than a dealer. A dealer mechanic tells me what he does is drill a hole down through the top of the shaft, squirt a bunch of W40 down into the hole, then drive a metal screw into the hole which pops the arm off. In either event the old shaft is worthless. If your motor works count yourself among the lucky, note that most car parts stores will tell you that one wiper motor fits the rear of saturn SW from 94-99, that is not true. Take your old motor in with you to make sure they sell you the right one.

It should be written on your compressor. But I do believe that the saturns switched pretty early. All the 93's I've seen so far have the 132a

Doit lock If so then it probably has to much restriction on the linkage Just lube the control rods that connect the latch to the lock motor.

The window regulators need to be replaced. Go to you tube, type your vehicle info and replace rear window regulator into the search bar, and it will most likely take you

How to remove the in door of a 1990 bmw 325i? And also the drivers door will not lock when i turn the key the other doors lock but the drivers door doesnt how should i go about fixing that?

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


E30 Models
  1. Remove the door panel and the water shield.
  2. Disconnect the wiring from the actuator. Remove the screws and pull the actuator off the linkage.
  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.
  2. On the front doors, remove the guide rail nut and pull the guide rail down. Disconnect the wiring and the linkage from the actuator.
  3. On the rear doors, remove the window and the access panel. Disconnect the wiring and the linkage from the actuator.
  4. Remove the 3 bolts holding the latch and actuator to the door structure.
