Subject:Door locks only work when doors are closed?
From:craig cowan

On my '87 syncro, which does not have power locks, I can only seem to lock
the doors when they are closed. A key will only lock the door if it's
closed, and the locking "button" can only be depressed with the door
closed.
This is proving to be extremely annoying and is not the case on my other
two busses.
This isn't normal right?
How do I fix it?

The doors lock and unlock fine and with little effort while closed though...
