Default Power locks

My driver side power lock switch unlocks buts does not lock..all the other switches work fine

Anyone else have this problem? is it just a bad switch?

Why would it unlock and not lock?

thanks

it's not the lock mechanism itself..the passenger side lock and the fob locks

its just the driver side (maybe it is worn because it is the on most often used?)

could the switch be half-broken? lock side doesnt work but unlock does?

the arms are inside the door you see them after you remove the door panel it still might be the switch you should be able to check that with a test light and marine grease i guess would be ok i like white lube my self
