My central locking system is working properly with the exception of my driver's door lock. It will only lock itself and not the other doors. However, it will successfully unlock all doors. Behavior is normal when locking or unlocking using the passenger door lock or trunk lock. (I have a coupe.) I have looked over some threads here and the common issues. However I didn't find a thread with my exact problem. Does my issue sound like a microswitch problem in the driver's door lock since it is the only one misbehaving? Thanks for any insight-

Could be the actuator or the wiring.

Easiest thing to do is check the door jam connector for corrosion and clean it out to see if that is the problem. Then look at the door actuator itself, etc."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
