Door Lock Won't Lock
I just noticed the passanger door won't lock. Not with the door lock switch on either door, not with the key remote, and not when the auto locks are enabled (putting the vehicle in drive). All the rest are fine, just the passanger door. I took the switch out, and everything looks brand new. I guess it just quit. Any suggestions?

Door Lock Won't Lock
Is the door lock actuator (motor) working ? Mine started making a grinding noise before it quit. Pull off the door panel, and see if the motor works and check for voltage going into it when you trigger the switch. You can get replacements at the dealer for like $35, but they are a pain to install. You have to drill out a rivet that holds the old one in, and stick your hand/forearm into the door to get it out. Search the forum for help, I think there was some directions a while back.
