First, my passenger side front door would always stay locked and it wouldn't open with the other three, now about two weeks after that started happening my remote won't open any door and I know it has bettery because the red light blinks when I press it. Does anyone know what I can do about either problem? by the way I have a factory alarm and my car is a 94. Thank you.

I have had the same prob with the passenger side front door. I don't have a remote opener so I can't help you there. I have had a prob with turning the key on the drivers side. SOme times it will turn all the way and the locks will go down and some times it only takes a fraction of a turn??? At other times turning to the right is not possible?? So sorry not have an answer, just want some answers meself
Hey.
I have the same problem with mine. Mine is the passenger side rear door. i guess its a little more common then i thought. I brought it in to the dealer, and they told me it is the door actuator. But they want to charge me an arm and a leg to fix it, so im still deciding whether its that important to me.
hope this helps,

Check your fuses. Then check the thread that's parked at the top of this forum for information on wiring failure at the trunk lid.
Last year I had to fix this wiring because the insulation had cracked off and exposed wires were touching. The first indication of trouble was a central locking fuse that kept blowing when I tried to lock/unlock the car with the console switch and the remote fob.

Yep, check your fuses (replace all of them if you're anal like me) and take this oportunity to squirt some graphite lock lubricant in the key holes - that stuff's great!

Thank you for all the replies, I'll try them later today. Does anyone else have any answers?
I went to the $tealer before I found bf.c. It was the actuator. Here's the link from the DIY post above.
