    My passenger door will not close fully. Neither the key or plunger will move. The drivers side will lock with key and plunger but unlocks immediately?

    Chris,
    The short-term solution that solved the door lock issue on my '83 308 was to spray electrical contact cleaner into the lock tumblers from the outside, then insert the key and cycle the lock from locked to unlocked a few times. I say short-term because I've noticed my locks stiffening-up again, and I'm sure the entire mechanism needs to be properly cleaned and re-lubricated: aka removing the door cards to access the lock works.

    The divers door unlocks electrically because the passenger door cannot lock. When the passenger door is fixed that should resolve itself.
