I give up, driver door lock frozen!

Arright, heres the deal, you cannot lift or push the drivers side doorlock down. i pulled the actuator, and it is fine. With it out of the car, i still cannot lift or push it.

Anyone have a spare drivers door or doorlock assembly? It sounds like the one i have is done with....

I'd pop off the door panel on the inside, and check to see if it has some how become wedged. It isnt that common for these locks to just suddenly shit the bed.

Hope its a easy fix, having mismatched locks sucks....

No reason to have mismatched locks, Dealer sells a kit with all pins you can match your bad lock to. It's a lot cheaper than a pre-matched one and also cheaper than one with a key.

i replaced my driverside lock and my dealer wanted 90 for a new one with new/different key or 75 for a new one matched to my key already. WTF, that seems like a no brainer.
how much are those little kits?
