In Reply to: Problem when locking doors posted by Pat on May 13, 2001 at 21:42:33:

If the switch is broken, the master controller for the locks thinks the door is still open and won't allow the car to lock.
Another potential problem - moisture (usually from car wash) gets into drivers door and corrodes the connections to the controller.
I've went through this more than once.
Sometimes it just goes away.
