Default Need a power door lock fix..

My driver side door doesn't always lock when I hit the lock button or when you put it in gear and the doors lock themselves..Sometimes it locks but most times it doesn't..The passenger side is fine..Is this a fix I can do myself??

Brotha: The search function is your friend. I just got done fixing my locks today using "Bakersfield's" outstanding DIY detailed in the thread below. You will need basic soldering skills, some new relays that you can purchase online and about 1/2 a day. Good luck.

It is possible it is the switch itself. You could try to exchange the switch with someone else to see if that fixes it, then buy the switch and you are done.

The switch panel comes out easily lifting out the top. lift the panel from the rear and it comes out. The passenger one comes out lifting from the front first.
