Door Lock Rod Clip - help finding replacement

[mdwyer]

Any ideas on where I can get this part? Isuzu dealership wasn't much help, saying the part was either part of the handle kit, or a more expensive kit that includes the rod along with a bunch of other things.

Find a new dealership. That's probably easier said than done, of course...

This part is a common weakness, and if the dealer had any clue what-so-ever, they would have known immediately what you wanted, and probably had a handful in stock. I've replaced mine once already, and I suspect there's a pretty large percentage of owners who have.

Use the info that Y33TREKker left you above, and call Merlin. Your dealer is useless.

Also, you might want to take a look at the how to article I wrote on the subject. Pretty simple process. You might want to go ahead as I suggested and order the other side, chance are it will fail pretty soon too.

I had same problem, a zip tie can be worked into there to hold it in place until replacement part comes in.

...that's funny... when mine failed, I found a broken zip tie attached to it. Apparently, the previous owner thought the same.

I just used a GM part 16627328 $0.63 ea.
Isuzu dealer is 85mi away.
Looked a little different, but works great.
looks like it will work on both sides

Just saw this thread. I will try to get some from Merlin. I need one for the drivers side.

Right now I am still using the zip tie method. Seems to be holding up too!
