Default Pass door locks-but is unlocked--AGAIN

I had a problem with the pass side door, if i locked it from the inside of the car it was not really locked, i had to lock it with the key from the outside.

I took off this end of this rod and turned it, cant remember which way and i also dropped the rod so i have lost my starting reference point.

Now---if i lock the door from the inside, it is locked, if i lock the door from the out side it is locked.

BUT, if i the have the door open and then lock it with the inside the car control **** and then-----close the door----it unlocks it again.

Any insight to whats going on here would be greatly appreciated.
Before i get to the point of just adjusting something with out knowing whats its for is rather lame.

Dave

I believe it is a safety feature, so you don't accidently lock your keys in the car.

Did it lock before ?

Not sure, but the drivers door which i have had no trouble with operates that way.

You can open the door, lock it with the ****, shut the door and will stay locked.
