thekurgan--Here's another view. Looks like the Bowden cable running from the interior handle (#16 here) attaches to and operates the door latch mechanism. (A second Bowden cable, #7, runs from the exterior door handle to the latch.) The lock button (#12) attaches to the "Operating Rod" (#11) which in turn goes to the latch separate from the Bowden cables and when depressed engages the lock within the latch.

The noise I'm getting goes away with very slight pressure on the button, and can be exactly replicated by flicking the button. It has to be either #12 ratting in its plastic well/housing/bushing in the door panel, or #11 vibrating where it attaches into the latch mechanism. I dont think the lock button and the Bowden cable(s) are directly connected--agree?

Gonna have to pull the door panel and see what's what.

Thanks
