okay, my driver side door lock will only open when I pull the handle inside, but my passenger lock only worked occasionally.It was embarrassing coming out of bestbuy while my 6year old cried and screamed as I tried to open my friggin door(key would turn lock would not) with the local police officer sitting there after trying for 5 minutes I got in,lol...soooooo, a couple of weeks later I sprayed wd40 down(inside under the pull up pin thru the hole) and in all my locks.bad news is it didnt un-stick my drivers side door lock or my gate lock...good news, it did free up my passenger door lock so that it opens freely with the KEY yahhhhh! All my locks work with the power lock switch.So the wd40 did help.try it and let me know.
