You can “double lock” your doors by turning your key all the way to the right from the drivers side door and all the way left from the passenger side door.
1St make sure your using the same key you always do not your spare or something that was cut new. also read your book on security usually there is a period of leaving the key in the ignition for so long so it will recognize this is the right key.
ok the switch on the drivers side not working is the problem,its not allowing the cicuit to be completed.you may want to check the passenger side lock actuator.
You'll need to replace the solenoid (motor) that doesn't work. Not hard once you get the door panel off. I suggest you buy the correct part, not a universal one.
it can't be the valet key beacuse the valet key works the opposite...It opens the doors but not the trunk. That model car has almost like a "double lock" on the trunk. If you put the non-valet key in the trunk keyhole and turn the key all the way to the right and remove the key while turned all the way to the right it will lock and re-lock the trunk to where the valet key will not be able to open it. They made it that way so you can lock pesonal items in your trunk, keep the original key, give the valet the valet key, and the valet cannot open the trunk. You might want to check the lines for the central lock system by the Drivers side door for a leak. That system is ran by a pneumatic pump located under the back seat. Does the key work in the front passenger's door? If so then its probably the actual lock on the drivers side door. Hope this helped you out.
