2000 with power locks. The ****in drivers front door wont lock. All the others lock and unlock fine using driver door switch as well as my little keyfob thing. But the drivers door lock wont budge. It feels almost stuck. Any advice?

Not really sure what's goin on with it. The rod is still connected. I think it might be bent? When I use the door control to lock it, it sounds like its stuck or something. With the panel off and slightly lower, the lock itself works fine, but once I mount the door panel, the lock wont budge. I think its hitting against the door latch rod and getting stuck maybe? Not sure how to fix it. I was lookin at it last night in the dark and got pissed and stopped trying but I need to fix it.
On a side note I broke all the little push pin things off the bottom part of the door panel in my rage of not being able to fix it. Any way to get new ones?

Take an undamaged one up to Ace hardware (to compare) they have lots of 'em, but they're a little pricey there. Any body shop will have plenty on hand, and might even give you a few for free or at least cheap. Just don't go up there all barefoot with your torn shirt, capri pants and green skin! They won't like you when you're angry..

The servo could just be worn out.... on the push clips your best bet would be dealership.. you can get a bag of them for chump change.

I took a look at it in the daylight. I cant figure it out. Not really sure what the servo is and how to replace it.
This is why i like having manual locks and windows lol. None of this bs.

If the actuator is bad I did pick one up on ebay last year for like $15. But it was for the rear. I was just looking on ebay and the front is $69.95. Just type in "Lock Mechanism" and it should give you a few different ones to check out. It will also show you a picture of it so you can see exactly what you need to look for. Good luck. let me know what you find out.
