Car Maintenance

[Spike88]

I drive a 2002 Mazda MPV, that is in fairly good condition despite a few scratches, and problems here or there. I eventually plan on replacing the rear bumper, repainting it, and replacing some of the broken interior pieces.


I'm pretty handy, so I'd like to do all the replacing myself, but that's another story.

My question/issue is that I have two things that I want to know if it's something I can fix/replace or if it's something I should pay someone to fix.

The first one has to do with the remote for the power locks. It no longer works, I tried replacing the battery in the remote, but that wasn't the issue. Any suggestions on what I should try next? Is it possible to purchase a new remote for my vehicle?

The second issue is the power lock for the left rear door. For whatever reason it doesn't unlock/lock like the rest, you have to manually push the lock open and closed. Bit of a pain when you have to open the drivers door, and reach back just to unlock the door. Anything I should try?
