Hi,

I recently bought a 1998 Geo Prizm and found out the back passenger door doesn't lock when all of the other doors do. So, when I put the key in and turn it twice everything unlocks but that door and the same for when I lock my car, everything locks but that. I can lock and unlock it manually though. So basically my question is, what do you think is wrong. I'm pretty sure it's just the actuator, which I could replace, but didn't know if it might actually be the motor. Thanks!

See if the actuator is getting power first. If it is then replace the actuator if not it may be a module

Okay, and what would be the best way to see if it's getting power?
