So I've had this problem ever since I bought my 93 a year ago. My driver side door will lock but it won't fully unlock. I have to cycle the key back and forth for it to even think about doing it. Ehat would be the best way to fix this?

Man, i thought i was the only one with this problem. I live with it but I usually spray some PB blaster every now and then... helps at times, other times it does nothing. I guess the right way of doing it would be taking apart the locking mechanism and cleaning it of junk, probably even checking those tension arms and its plastic clips.
But sorry i have not tried repairing it, have other issues to attend to

I had to wash mine out with brake clean and then used a air nozzle to dry it then used some Power Lube and got it working good . at least this worked on my lock .
