Subject:help! power doorlock problem (2nd try)
Date:Mon, 22 Mar 2004 11:38:05 EST

2nd try here..

'90 GL w/ power locks.
problem:   yes i CAN unlock all doors (including drivers door) from RF door,
but CAN'T unlock all doors from drivers door.

when i put the key in the RF (pass) door, and turn, i hear the actuator
whirring noise, and the central power lock actuators lock and unlock all the
doors/hatch fine, including the drivers door.
but when i put the key in the drivers doorlock and turn - nothing happens
other than the drivers lock opening.. none of the other doors/hatch opens - no
whirring noise.
so why can i operate all the locks from the front pass door, but not the
drivers door?  bad drivers doorlock actuator?   any ideas?
if it is indeed a bad drivers actuator, then why does it open from the RF
pass door?
