I read it and I had believed my problem was with it, and I have ordered a new plastic gear spinning piece that snaps. But today the symptoms have changed.Originally I went to lock my car door at night with the remote button and I heard a weird buzzing come from the passenger door. I went over and lifted the handle and presto the door was unlocked and open. I closed it and tried to lock it again, and the driver door locked perfectly, but the passenger door just made the weird buzzing sound and still you could open it from the outside. I figured if I can hear it buzzing that tells me I am getting power, but something is not moving in order to turn the locking mechanism.Today though, I drove my ute to the gym and when I pushed the lock button, to lock just the driver door, it made the usual buzz noise from the passenger side, but this time the driver door instantly unlocked itself and then proceeded to beep at me a few times. I tried two more times and like clock work it spat the same result at me, with interior light staying on.Can anyone break this down for me, and tell me if it means anything different seeing the ute now constantly thinks the passenger door is open, and the fact that now the driver door refuses to lock as well, when it was locking fine before ?

I got told it can happen from pushing lock twice. puts pressure on it and it snaps. easy fix. door trim off. the lock actuator out. make sure not to lose the spring.
