Driver's door doesn't want to lock
 

Okay, this one is starting to be a bit of a pain, so I'm looking for some help from anyone who's had this happen to them. I checked old threads before posting, so I've already pulled the 15A door lock fuse under the dash (middle column, second from top) and pulled off the door panel so I can see what's happening with the latch. I've also disconnected both of the connectors that plug into the lock solenoid, and the lock still wont "lock" when I try to push the lock button down. I would think - from a safety standpoint - that the lock should lock/unlock with no power to it. Am I wrong? If I'm right, does this mean the solenoid has just crapped out in the unlocked position and I need to replace it?

Thanks in advance for everyones' help.

The lock button is purely mechanical. It should work even when there is no power to the door locks. You need to remove the lock and have a look at it, or just get one from a breaker.

Thanks. I thought that was probably the case:(
