    Lock issues

    I, like many, am having issues with my locks. I have done a ton of reading all around the web and can't seem to find anyone with the same issues I am having. Prior to yesterday, everything worked fine. Here is my situation:
    --Drivers door will not unlock with key, but can operate the knob if the door is closed and it locks and unlocks the door.
    --Passengers door--key will only turn a little and will open if door handle is pulled while key is turned.
    --trunk key does nothing, but I can hear the click from the lock module behind the speaker.
    --actuators in both doors seem free and can hear click from module.
    I am sort of at my wits end and am hoping someone can lead me in the right direction.

    I'm in the same boat man. My next step is to pull out the whole mechanical mechanism, because my driver side won't turn to the locking side. Good luck!

      --Drivers door will not unlock with key, but can operate the knob if the door is closed and it locks and unlocks the door. unusual but sounds like the deadbolt is engaged but still allowing lock mechanism to move ,i think you need to remove the door panel and lock tumbler /latch to inspect it to figure out why key wont turn and disengage the deadbolts
      --Passengers door--key will only turn a little and will open if door handle is pulled while key is turned. this is normal if deadbolt is engaged and is a safety mechanism to allow one to get into car if battery is dead and you cannot get deadbolts unlocked from drivers door
      --trunk key does nothing, but I can hear the click from the lock module behind the speaker. again normal if deadbolts are engaged the lock module will activate but cannot override the mechanical deadbolts ,does the trunk lock/unlock when turning the key?
      --actuators in both doors seem free and can hear click from module.
      I am sort of at my wits end and am hoping someone can lead me in the right direction.
      there's good diagnostics available in the Factory ETM's locking section ,i think all problems are definately related to what going on in driver door, may have to manually trip the deadbolt unlock in the module by jumpering
