When i unlock my car from the drivers door it unlocks all the doors, but when i lock it only the drivers door locks the other three stay unlocked, but every now and again it will lock all the doors and then it goes back to just locking the drivers door the next time i go to lock it.

Hey Dale,

It sounds like the door lock switch is not working right, remove the door panel and replace door latch assembly.

What happens is the contacts go bad in the electrical part of the latch.

Let me know what you find.

Best, Ken
