Does the lock go down (with the key) then pop back up? Does the key JUST NOT TURN when you try to lock it with the key? Does the button JUST NOT GO DOWN when you push on it?

If it is the first (can lock with a key, but it keeps bouncing back up) and third, try the re-sync procedure (in owner's manual).

If this doesn't do it, the dealer was able to get my doors right by twisting the key an EXTRA EXTRA firm amount, PAST the second ("double lock") position, and the lock went right down and worked fine ever since.

Sorry it's a little vague, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "driver's door doesn't lock".

Good luck, let us know how you make out.

I have tried turning the key in all positions to lock and unlock but still my drivers side door does not lock, and all the other doors including the trunk locks. Please help me.
