1997 toyota corolla drivers door lock not working...

Hi the car has central locking from the key but was not manufactired with remote keyless central locking. When you turn the key in the drivers side door it will not unlock. I have to use the key to unlock the passenger door and then that unlocks all doors at once- as it should. I am wondering which part I will have to replace in the drivers side to get it working as it should. Any help would be much appreciated.

It is not that hard to fix. Actuater is sold as part of the assembly. You can't just replace it by itself. Order the part online for a lot less than dealer. I learned that when the passenger side did the same thing a couple months later and I saved $150 on line. Remove the inside door panel. Remove lock assembly from door. Remove door handle.

SOURCE: 2006 Toyota Corolla. The driver's door won't work with remote.

the actuator might have been disconnected from the lock, its attached inside the door, with a metal rod that clips into the actuator, check it out, might be a easy fix, good luck and god bless, please rate me!

SOURCE: can not lock car by key remote . toyota rav 4 53 plate

If your car has an alarm with a separate remote, it is a separate system and it is probably self-arming. When you lock the doors with the key central lock, the alarm gets armed by the RAV4 being OFF and the door locking action. When you unlock the doors with the key, the alarm is still armed because the key is not comunicating with the alarm just the cars factory keyless system.

You will need to replace the driver door switch. You can try to pick a switch up from the dealer or a local car wrecker (i.e. Pick-n-Pull). It will involve learning to take apart the door trim panel.

Does the Corolla 2005 CE allow for the keyless remote locks?

That depends if the car originally was equipped with the receiver for the keyless system. If so, you can buy the remotes from a dealer for about 99 dollars each. If the car does NOT hve the keyless receiver, the remotes will not work. What I would do is take the car to a dealer, their techs can look to see if the receiver isinstalled under the dash.
