Fixing the Broken Lock
Last week, one of the very common S2000 failures finally happened to me. The lock switch broke! There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why and when these fail but the design is a bit flawed in that the plastic switch that engages the lock seems to get brittle and snap even if you just unlock it with your remote.
Thankfully, this is an easy enough fix. I got a new replacement door release/lock from my friend Jon (as well as en extra one as future spare including one for the passenger side from @socal_s2000_parts - Alan Lee). After you remove the panel it's 3 bolts, reconnect the hooks and you're done.
