    Driver side door unlocks but doesnt lock?

    I can lock my car from the trunk or passenger door and unlock it from the driver, but I can not lock it from the driver side. Does anybody have a clue how to fix this?

    sounds like your door lock itself is giving you problems. Remove door lock and rebuild the lock cylinder. Dealer item carries for about 30.00 bucks

      Mine has the same problem, I'm pretty sure it's because the internal mechanisms are gummed up. Try this out: open the door and play around with the actual lock in the door jamb, see if you can get it to lock. You may be able to figure it out from there.

        Mine has the same problem but with mine the driver door is just like yours and the passenger door is opposite, its can look but doesn't unlock.

          You should still be able to physically lock the drivers door. Are you saying the other doors don't lock with it?
