• There is a mother lock for all door and it is located to the driver side door. Maybe you need to replace it but if a electrician can do something about it to save money do so, but I highly recommend to replace the mother lock for hassel free.

Does the Driver side door lock and unlock from the lock switch inside? If not then you have a bad motor or bad connection to the lock/unlock motor inside the door.

if it moves even a little bit when the button is pushed it wont be a fuse issue, you more than likely have a weak door lock actuator

Which is it, 98 Eclipse, or 06 Impala? Either way, your door lock actuator is stuck in the locked position either electrically or mechaically. The way to check this is to remove the door panel and unplug the actuator. If door lock can now be moved then you have an electrical problem (faulty door lock switch or faulty door lock module). If you still cannot unlock door then actuator is mechanically bad and must be replace (usually the case)

really sounds like the tumbler pins are stuck in the cylinder of the lock. mite want to spray some lubricant like(PB Blaster)or WD-40 in the cylinder key hole and push key in and out to see if tumblers will release..gd luck..chris

Spray it in with that door lock lubrication.
You should be able to open it from the driverside insde.
Lubricate the doorlock latch at door style itself as well, no excess. Dripping to be removed! Now after working in that oil. have a few operations of the whole and threat all doors alike.
You need to do this at least once a year. She just stuck in dirt most probably. At that side most dirt enters because you use it the most.

You may have inadvertantly locked the passenger windows by pressing the little button to the right of the door locks (on the driver side). It's a push to lock/push again to unlock type button, so try pushing it--if it stays down, then that wasn't the problem. If it comes up, then try the window. I hope that helps

your lock acuteuator is stuck replace it and you should be fine
