Door locks dont work. Pass. side stuck in lock position. Driver lock moves freely?...

[STEVEn95tsi]

---I have never came to this problem before. None of my power doors lock work. Driver nor passenger. But i can unlock the driver side lock by hand and open the door. The passenger side lock hasnt crazy resistance. I need both of my hand to move the lock to the unlock position and then quickly pull the lever to open the door. I pulled the panel off the passenger side and the lock/unlock rod is really stiff. How can this be?... How can i fix it?...And can anyone tell me how to get my door locks working again?...THANKS

Check your fuses, try a different set of switches if possible, check to make sure that both locking mechanisms are plugged in too, and the latch/lock mechanism inside the door is probably seized up on the passenger side. I would try replacing it.

WD-40 is your friend

I checked the fuse under the dash and it was good. But what do you mean WD-40?? What am i suppose to do with that??

duh spray it into the lock and see if it frees it up a little there is a little clip on the inside of the door that might be unplugged and check the linkage from the door lock knob to the door lock cylinder itself.

Agree with the wd 40 and you can try some white lithium grease. Might have to replace latch or key cylinder if all that doesn't work

Well the WD-40 will hopefully fix the passenger side. But what do i do about the locks?...I know that both door look actuators and switches dont go out at the same time??....

 

[brassc2007]

actually if one side goes out the other will not work what you can do is try unplugging the switches one at a time on each side and why you have one side unplugged see if the other side works and then do that with the other side, if one side works when the other doesn't than you know that the problem lies in the side that is unplugged and you need to look for the problem in that side

Passenger side sounds like the lock seized up on you. It's a costly part but luckily it's only one for you. The driver side doesn't sound like a seize up and I've never heard of that type of problem.

I have same problem girlfriend didn't close passenger all the way so hit the door with hip to close rest of the way and now both locks on doors don't work. Very stiff. Let me know when you find a solution.
