    Door lock problem...

    Its been a year now since ive actually gone through this problem and now want it fix.

    Locking from drivers door-locks/unloccks
    Locking from trunk- locks only passenger and unlocks immediately. Unlocking from trunk only unlocks the passenger/trunk

    im thinking the drivers door actuator is bad since its not locking/going down when locking from the trunk..which should lock all...

    When you lock the drivers side does the actuator work or does it just lock manually? Clean the pins in the drivers door jamb connector first before trying a new actuator.

      Well when I lock from the door jamb it locks ALL doors..and Unlocks all door. Im not sure if the actuator is moving but its turning smoothly...Only when I unlock from trunk/passenger it doesnt unlock like its suppose to.

        Probably just the actuator but I'd still clean the connector first.

          I just went outside and tested everything. I feel like the drivers door is being locked/unlocked manually since I hear no motor going up or down... i will clean up the strikers but I heard that isnt really part of the central locking...

            Problem fixed. Actuator was bad replaced with a used one from junkyard.
