Re: Door Lock Problem

Does it work with the key fob/remote control? Does it lock from the passenger side switch?

Re: Door Lock Problem

Check for a poor connection at suspect lock switch. If ok, replace door lock switch.

Re: Door Lock Problem

LOL, funny you should have this sort of problem.

Both my doors lock when I use the remote (thank God, cuz it would be a royal pain in the *** if they didn't) but when I hit the "unlock" button on the remote (or the power button inside the car on the door) the passenger door does not unlock. The driver's side works fine, but the power controls do not seem to work for the passenger door. So if I have someone waiting to get in, I have to get in the car and unlock the passenger door manually.

It's a bitch but I can live with it for now.
