Default fixed door locking issue...thanks!

My passenger door was not locking so I did some searching on the forums and got the answers I was looking for.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the info and the money saved fixing it myself....

I second that gentleman's gratitude. This was one of the first repairs I had to make to my car in '07 and I got the info on this awesome forum.

this youtube video helped me alot also....but I used the de-soldering tool from Radio Shack it was 14 bucks with tax... Catalog #: 64-2060. Once you scrape/remove the silicone away from the solder joints the tool worked perfect and super easy to use.
