Lock issue
 

I have never heard of this. My drivers side door would not open. I figured one of the rods was off of the striker. I pulled the door apart and everything was attached. I figured the striker was gunked up. So I took it out and let it soak in parts cleaner. Once it was clean I dryed it off and put it all back together and greased it (white Lytheum grease). The door worked great until I locked the door. Then the striker would not work again. Long story short as long as I dont try to lock the door after I get it opened the first time it works great. Everything is hooked up and working correctly. Any advise?

Does the issue happen with or without electric locks? When you try to manually unlock the door, does it work?

It doesnt matter if I unlock the doors manually or electrically. I have even tried using the key in the door.

Is the rod for the lock bent beyond its normal shape? Or maybe the mounting points for the rod worn?

try replacing the lock mech it self the part that all thr rods hook to not the key part i had issues with mine last month i went to jy and pulled two off the back doors of a4door its the same as the front they get a lot less use make sure you get extra rod clips works like brande new
