[Bricklin] Door will not open using switch alone

[Rick Forfar]

Drivers side door:



Door will not open using switch.  However, by pulling the safety latch and
pressing the switch inside at the same time the door will open.  In
addition, the door will also open by pulling the safety latch and pressing
the switch on the outside of the car.

I have checked that the solenoid is pulling properly by closing the latch
with the door up with a screwdriver, the latch will release perfectly every
time.  So, I am confused why when I close the door and press the switch to
go up (and hear the latch release) why does the door not go up?



Passenger side door:



Door will no longer go up or down via air cylinder (just by manually lifting
or slowly dropping back down).  When I was in the process of fixing the
solenoid and safety latch setup in the passenger side door somehow the air
stopped working.  If I press the switch inside or outside the car you can
hear and see the safety latch releasing but no signal is being sent to open
or close the door.  Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,

Rick
