    Door lock only works manually

    Well, another problem arose today. Everything worked tip top in my 03. Took my car to a stereo shop to have a system put in it. When I picked it up, the rear passenger door lock only works manually. The switch won't control it (neither one), nor the fob. I'm going to assume it's just a coincidence, as he was only in the front door panels for the front speaker install. It does seem to move fairly freely by hand. Does this sound like an actuator?

    Good.. I was hoping my installer didn't get a wire jacked up.. Didn't see how he could though, and both front switches are good and snug, new actually. Funky coincidence. Thanks

    I'd check the connections and see if you have power going to the actuator.

    Well it's half way working today, moved down once, moved up a time or two.. I'm guessing actuator is taking a dump. Thanks guys.

    Yep same here.. sometimes my doors will lock via the fob and sometimes I have to press the 7/8 & 9/0 buttons to lock.
