2002 Driver Door Lock Problem
I am having a door lock problem on the driver's side door. Its only on the drivers side. The drivers side door will NOT lock when the key fob is used. It will NOT lock using the button on the arm of the door. The door WILL unlock with the key fob and also unlock using the button on the door also. The relays are working because I can hear them clicking when I use the key fob.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
Thank you!!

Either a new door lock module (the easy solution) or replace the door lock relay.
The best thread was by Bakersfield which took you through the fix but its disappeared. I have a copy if you PM me with your e mail
Mine is showing the same problem even though I had a new module fitted under warranty. I have the relay and just need to dust off my soldering skills.

Can buy a used one from a junk yard on Ebay for about $100. They also have a repair service that fixes yours for about $60 but you have to send it in and wait for it to come back. I will probably buy a used one.

I just test drove an 01 that I might buy - it has under 18k on it, but the driver's door power lock isn't working. I noticed when I press the lock and unlock buttons on the door panel, I can see the lock lever thingy wiggle a little bit, but it won't move it enough to actually lock or unlock the door.
The owner claims its the actuator and is a cheap fix, but never got around to it.
Since it's moving a little but not quite enough - could it be the actuator in my case?
