    Hello everyone, I am experiencing troubles with my passenger door lock. My drivers side door will manually lock with the key however will no remain locked. I believe this is due to the passenger side door. Now when I use the key on the passenger door the key will not lock the door. Seems like the lock is stuck? Anyone experience such issue, also what part of the door lock would need to be replaced? I see a variety of door lock parts on ebay.

    before you start replacing parts, synchronize the locks. There are cables in the doors under the arm rests that you need to play with and you likely will not need to replace parts.

    Thanks! I will definitely give it a try, if its easy fix that would be great. But I feel there's something that needs replacing otherwise the previous owner would have straighten it out prior to my purchase.

    The most likely cause of your problem is the cable that goes from the outer door handle to the lock mechanism on near the striker plate. The cable get's clogged up and snags and leaves the lock mechanism in a half-way-house situation which causes the symptoms you describe.
