I have a 1992 Subaru Liberty (Legacy) wagon. The lock on the front passenger door will not lock. The key will not turn fully in the lock and the internal rocker switch cannot be engaged in the lock position - it seems to get pushed back. I have removed the rocker switch and still cannot engage the lock. Is the problem the unit near the base of the door? This part seems to be resisting the locking mechanism. Seems difficult to get this part out of the door.
All other doors lock and unlock correctly with the central locking mechanism from the driver's door.
Thanks for reading.
Check the alignment with the door pin. Might be out of adjustment and will not let the door close all the way. That will cause the lock to not be operable. Good luck and have a great day.

Ok - I have now fixed the problem. The lock actuator was not responding at all. Picked up a second hand replacement from a Subaru wreckers and all is working fine now. Plus, I now know how doors and central locking work. Bonus!
