The passenger side door lock wont work. Is this easy to fix? How much would it cost to fix at a shop? Or can I do it cheaper?Would I get the same lock, because the key I have does everything. Or iam I going to have another lock with another key just for that door

What I recommend is removing the door panel and taking a look inside. Chances are the linkage has come off or broken. You should be able to do it yourself. The only hard part is that it is tight to work on.
