      Thank you so much.    I guess I'll try the lube trick first and then maybe grab an actuator if it doesn't work.    Don't know why I don't want to pull the door panel;  I've only done it about 63,998 times.

      I had the exact same problem on my GTP. I was noticing the passenger door was not locking. The driver door and rear doors were all locking and unlocking just fine. The switches worked just fine, the key fob worked fine, but the passenger door would not lock. If I manually locked it, it would unlock.  I pulled the door panel, and lubed up the latches, and the linkages and that fixed the issue for about a year. Then I had the exact same thing happen on my truck. The driver side door would not lock. It was unlocking just fine if I manually locked the door.  It ended up being the door lock actuator on my truck. Replaced it and it was working fine again. Decided to replace the one on the GTP with one from the junkyard and it's still working just fine.

      1999 Grand Prix coupe.  Driver door will only lock sometimes. It will always unlock and the passenger side will always do both.  I tried swapping switches and a different switch that I know works, but no change.  I can power the lock wire and it still, same thing.  Remote start key fob, same thing.  It will start the car even without it actually being locked.  I'm trying to avoid pulling the door panel, but I guess that's what I'm going to have to end up doing.   Any suggestions?  TIA

      there is, right at the base of the column where it meets the rack, you could disconnect all the hydraulic lines and drop it with the rack or you could just unbolt it from the rack and tie it up while you work, either way works

      How about the steering rack - is there a pinch bolt somewhere to disconnect?
