my lock on the sliding passenger side door isn't working when I use the button to unlock all of the doors. How do I fix this? Is it a fuse or do I need to take it to a shop? I think something is also wrong with the vent window in back on that same side. Could the problems be connected?

I'm not a mechanic, but have exact same problem. Let me know if you get an answer.

If the others work, chances are it isn't a fuse. You need to remove the door panel to see if there is power to the lock solenoid. If there is, the solenoid is most likely bad. If there is no power, you need to trace the power supply back to find where the power is lost.

I also had this problem and can tell you that the door lock control? had to be replaced. I ended up going with a used part because NO ONE had a new part in stock! I have intermittent problems with this one too.

youll need to check the lock acuator in the door. it maybe a bad lock acuator or a loose rod going to the lock assy.
