Door Lock Problem
My 96 passenger door lock mech makes noise but does not unlock as the driver side does when I approach with the PAS. What the fix? Any DIY pics and procedures? Thanks

Might the PKE be set such that it does not open the passenger door?
On our 94, it can be set to either open both doors, or only the driver's door (take a look in your Owners manual).

They can be programmed either way. Try unlocking the door with the button. If that works, then you know the door lock is working, and the PKE was just programmed to operate the drivers door. Follow the steps below to make it work on both doors.
PKE Settings
You can use the system for both doors or just the
driver’s door, or you can turn the system off.
Changing the Door Settings
1. Put the ignition key in the ignition, but don’t turn it
on.
2. Press DOOR on the transmitter until the door locks
cycle (about two seconds).
Turning the System Off
1. Take the ignition key out of the ignition.
2. Press DOOR on the transmitter until the door locks
cycle (about two seconds).
To turn the system back on, just repeat the steps.
If you are working around your vehicle and keeping
your keys with you, you might want to turn the PKE
system off. If you don’t, the transmitter will keep
locking and unlocking your doors.
