Default remote door locks

The remote door lock on the passenger side of my 89 doesn't work. When i activate the switch i can hear movement in the door but the lock slide does not move. At the same time the drivers door actuates. The sound seems the same in either door. Any ideas or suggestions before i remove the panel? :confused:

Nope, sounds like either the linkage came off or broke somewhere in the door panel. Sometimes the little retaining clips come off at the very end where it attaches to the handle hardware. Take off the panel and take a look around in there. Good luck. :seeya

Sounds like a stuck actuator to me. I've had that happen on other cars before. That or something has gotten wedged in the way of the lock in the door.
