power lock mechanism on drivers door doesn't work
Wow! Sorry for throwing all my broken toys at you folks but my budget says "DIY". The level on the drivers door that should lock and unlock all three doors does not work. It will unlock everything but it will not lock. Any idea of what is wrong? Which part needs to be replaced?

Check the wires going through the door jamb.

Re: power lock mechanism on drivers door doesn't work
if the wiring looks ok, it might be the switch itself.
If you can't find a local source other than a dealership, http://www.rockauto.com probably has it. They had all the switches for my old '89.
