Power Door Lock Button....

Has water gotten into the switch? Could be that the switches internal connector and dirty. I would pull the door panel off (If you know how to) and tack the switch apart. If your not comforatable with taking the switch apart I would see how much a new one is. They shouldn't be to much $$. Do you have a multi mater? You can see if power is going out of the switch when you press the button. If it's not the switch or a loose wire it is the electric piston (for get what they are called) (attuater?).

My 97 has the same problem. The driver's side button won't unlock.

I just haven't pulled my door panel yet since they always seem to rattle or something after you remove them.
