"97" exploror door latch and automatic door locks

I have a "97" exploror inside drivers door latch break twice in about a month. When I put the first replacement on the pull was stiff. The new one I just got is stiff even too, though it isn't on the vehical yet.
What should I look for here?

Is ther anyway to disable the automatic door locks?
I would still like to be able to use the power locks but I hate how you hvae to unlock them when ever it is time to get out.
