Door Lock Problem Help!!

I have a strange problem with my drivers door lock.

It will not "Lock" with the remote. I have to lock the door manually. The passanger door works fine.

Both doors will Unlock with the remote with no problems.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

If you attempt to lock the door from the inside of the car with the driver's control, does it lock?

No.. the passanger door locks but not the drivers. I thought it might be the linkage, but counting that out, because it locks.

I have the same issue, I plan on replacing the relay in the control module. I've got the new relay and a solder sucker, I just haven't gotten around to attempting the surgery yet.

It does sound like the door control module is the cause. The relays can be replaced as RedSoxFan said.

Those are exactly the symptoms I had and the dealer replaced the door module under warranty

This is the definitive thread on the forum covering the fix. You can either replace the module or theres a relay fix here as well.
