If the lock tries to move then the problem could be a frozen lock mechanism or a faulty solenoid.
Passenger side automatic door lock not working.
Have the same problem with my driver side lock i believe i need a new actuator.
I have an 08 altima 2 5s and two days ago my driver s side door lock stopped working in response to the remote the keyless entry button on the door handle and the lock button on the inside.
If it s not sending a signal the fob will likely have to be replaced.
All three other door locks respond normally.
Chances are your solenoid is burned up or maybe a loose connection.
This is a cheap and easy fix.
If i insert the key into the passenger side door the lock doesnt open close.
The only way to lock unlock it is manually push the lock from the inside or use the key from the outside.
An inoperative power door lock can be caused by the switch solenoid wiring problem or mechanical problem within the linkage of the affected door.
Shearer adds that in cases where all of the locks fail to work it s likely a sign of a defective switch which triggers all of the actuators or a blown fuse.
Inspect the fuse that protects the door lock circuit to ensure it is not blown.
Again if one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be with the door lock solenoid.
If one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be a blown fuse.
Defrost the lock to check an individual lock mechanism work the door lock manually up and down or backwards and forwards in newer vehicles while using the auto lock button at the same time.
If all of the door locks are inoperative start your diagnosis at the fuse box.
It does open close when i insert the key in the driver side door.
A fuse is blown.
Replacing the fuse will correct the problem.
The solenoid is bad.
Replacing it may require removing the car door panel.
