Key will only go in part way in the drivers side door and the door will not stay shut

My key would only go in part way so I unlocked the car by the trunk. Then when I went to close the door, it won't stay shut! The latch will not move in conjunction with the door handle. what do I do?

You will need to remove the lock and catch. you will probably find the pin has fell out. but you will still need to remove the lock to fix it back in place. remove the door card you will need some duck tape to put the cover back on that covers the inside door cover. remove the lock and. also when the key part is remove soak it in some oil for a few hours then clean off and try it before putting back into the door.

How to stop alarm on honda frv

Use the key to lock and unlock the driver's side door. Many factory car alarms are designed to turn off when in proximity to the appropriate key or key fob. You may be able to shut your car alarm down simply by inserting your key into the lock on the driver's side door, locking it, and unlocking it again.

Shut the hood, make sure the back hatch is shut tight. Lock all the doors. Walk around and make sure they locked. Open the drivers door with the key. This should clear the security. If not lock it again and try the passenger side door. Reach in and unlock the drivers door. If it cleared then. Replace the drivers door latch on the back side. Inside the door.

Hello my mazda 323f 1999 isnt unlocking properly when i go to unlock it with the key the drivers door stays locked and when im in the car it locks me in

On some Mazdas, if you are unlocking the door on the passenger side with a key, it is not supposed to unlock the driver's door. The power lock system will only work from the driver's side. It is supposed to lock you in...that is the way it is designed. Check your owner's manual.

If you don't have an owner's manual, you can get one from the Mazda web site

When i unlock the car from the drivers side the passenger door stays locked. if i unlock the car from the pasenger side the drivers door stays locked cant figure it out?

You have a slave door electrical sysyem ... ie the drivers door is the Master door with a mechanical lock ,,, which sends an electrical trigger to All the other doors.... the passinger door does not have the trigger signal for the rest of the doors, but can operate via a Key .(or elec trigger from drivers door) So to recap Driver door (master (no motor) all others triggered by Drivers door . So dud passanger door motor. Good luck

How can I program the door locks on my 2002 Camry so they do not lock when you put the car in gear?

Put the key in the ignition, turn to the on position. Open the driver's door and remove the key (keep door open). Put the key in and out 4 times (in/ out only without any turning of the key) with the key out at the end. Hit drivers side unlock button 5 times. Wait at least ten seconds and shut the driver's door. Away you go. It will stay like this unless you remove the cars battery - if so you will have to do that sequence again. Works for most if not all toyotas

Jam door locks

How about the passenger side - does it unlock with the key and switch there? Can you open the drivers door with a key? If both these are true, probably the unlock switch on the drivers door is faulty.
