Door Lock ?

I have a lil problem with my locks, every once in a while the passenger side seems to seize up, Usually i can pry with a screwdriver and then it works again, I believe it just freezes here in buffalo, However since ive had the car the passenger side door does not lock with either the factory remote or when i lock the driver side door, Im curious what my options are as it has become really annoying locking both sides when i have a passenger Thanks

You're saying the key won't turn in the passenger side? If that's the case I would try to lubricate the lock cylinder using some penetrating oil with the straw on it. After a thorough spray (be sure to protectthe paint on the door) put the key in and jimmy it around and it should free up. If not, I know crazy-pilot had a detailed post about disassembly and remedies to stuck locks. I have done the same for my car.

Re: Door Lock ?

The key works fine in the passenger door, its just that it wont lock when i use the factory keyfob or when i lock the driver side door. Ive read some other posts about this happening to the driver side door but mine is the passenger.
