The door lock on the rear driver side does not lock or unlock with either the key remote or the switch on the driver door. Is there a fuse to replace or could it be something more complicated? Thank you.

Will it lock if you manually lock it, not with the key or remote?

stevew84,

Yes, it will lock or unlock if you physically push or pull on the "knob" but doesn't work if you use the key remote or the actual switch on the door.

Thanks.

I would be checking for a bad actuator. Take the door panel off and have someone lock and unlock the door and see if something is not moving.

Ironically, it worked okay on a couple of occasions this evening so I'm wondering if it's not an electrical issue. Does that sound right?
I'll monitor it closely and see if it continues.

Thanks again.

Sounds like an electrical issue. I would definently be looking at at an actuator problem.
