Help with Faulty Driver's Door Lock Please
My driver's side lock will unlock with the FOB and unlock with the button on the door, but won't lock with the FOB/ will lock with the button on door. Passenger side works perfectly. Any Ideas??
Thanks,
Dave

I believe you are having problems with your driver's side Door Control
Module, possibly a burnt relay do a search I know others have had this

Here's another, very good, fix description:

I used this one to fix my driver's side door lock problem.
The main problem I had was getting the old relay off the board. Guess my solder removal tool is getting old - time to get a new one. Anyway, while I was in there I replaced the other one too. It was easier to get off while I had the end one out. Since the relay's are so cheap, I ordered 4. Now when the passenger side goes out I'm ready.

Just one question before you dive in - does the interior lock
move when you use the key fob, and just not engage?
In that case, your problem may be mechanical, and not electrical.
(Bent linkage rod in the door)
If the interior lock doesn't move, then one of the above methods
probably is appropriate.

I did misquote on my original statement. If I use the button on the door it still won't lock. It only locks if I push it manually.
Thanks again for the information from all.
