hey guys, gotta fun one for ya...i have manual door locks, and my pass side door lock wont lock/unlock from outside with key.....(simple problem i bet) but the kicker is my driver side door lock works outside with key and will unlock inside...BUT...if you lock it from inside and shut the door it automatically pops up and unlocks lol what gives...if i want to lock my car i always have to use the key....

help....

 

Did you hold up the handle when you close the driver's door?

 

nope

 

Hold the handle up when shutting it, as far as i can figure its some safety feature so you cant accidently lock your keys in the car, my driver side does it too

 

As for the fact that you cannot unlock it from the outside passenger, It's either a seized/rusted lock or it's not hooked up somewhere. I just recently had to replace all my door handles and locks on my car and it's actually quite fun to get inside and clean everything up. Try taking your door handle off and the lock mechanism out and taking it to a locksmith type place. They will most likely be able to fix the inside of the lock.

 

check if its broken or if the tumblers are worn...

 

clip may be off on the passenger Side,to the rod that activates the Mechanism..And Yah,you have to Hold the handle UP on the Door While shutting it,when Locking the door,or it just Disengages the lock,and it stays unlocked..

 

pull you interior piece off your door and take a picture and I bet we could tell you what the problem is...

 

so the locks can be changed without replacing door handle also?

 

yes
there is a write up about how to change your tumblers...
its not allthat hard at all.
but if the little pot metal pieces are broke you have to change everything...
