Driver Side Power Door lock
I've read the other threads and still don't have a solid idea of what 's wrong with my DS door. All locks make a noise when hitting the lock/unlock and all but the drivers move. I can hear and feel the actuator in the drivers side door click when the button is pressed but the lock arm doesn't move. Is there an arm or something that connects the actuator to the lock arm?
I should have it home this weekend and plan to check voltage with my multi meter but figured the knowledge base here could save me some time.
Car came with tons of paperwork that I haven't seen yet so I don't know if any of the controllers have been replaced.
Thanks in Advance
Josh

Just pull the door panel and have a look. Probably take longer to pop off the panel than to fix the problem.
My PS door was stuck / locked shut when I got it and locking mech wasn't working. Took about 3 minutes to get things back in order. Gave everything a shot of lube while I was in there and been working smooth ever since.

pulled the panel this weekend and couldn't see anything wrong. Going to look for a wiring diagram so I can see whats actually in the door under the close mechanism.

Nothing looked wrong with mine either... could here the locks trying to work. Think they were just gummed up / dirty. Once open and unstuck I sprayed down the mech and cycled it manually a few times. Lubed it up good and been trouble free since... YMMV
