door latches - which years are interchangeable?

[roscoe67]

My 1997 is running strong, but all those little parts are starting to wear. The front door latches, especially, are wearing out - you really have to slam the doors to get them to latch.

I see on eBay that there are latches that are listed as 1999-2000 compatible. Did they really change the latches in 1999, or can I get these, knowing they will fit my 1997?

Otherwise, I am having trouble finding latches. Any ideas?

Thanks!

From looking through part numbers, it looks like there are a shocking number of changes to the lock assembly part numbers. Which years are interchangeable also depends on whether you have manual or power locks. To answer your question though, no front door lock assemblies for 1999-2002 share a part number with any pre-1999 front door lock assemblies.

Do you, by chance, have the part numbers for the 1997 front doors (with power locks)?

1997 drivers side (Left) lock assembly is 69040-35150. 1997 passenger side (Right) lock assembly is 69030-35160. It looks like both are discontinued. The part numbers for those are the same between 1996 and 1997 models only.
