I am having trouble with the driver's side power door lock. A couple of months ago, the lock started acting sluggish when the solenoid was activated. I figured it was the 12v battery starting to go bad (e.g., a weak or shorted cell causing low voltage or current, or both), although the other door locks worked normally. Then, last week the solenoid wouldn't lock the door. The lock mechanism clunks and tries to move, but it doesn't lock the door.
Over the weekend, I hooked up a jumper battery to see if the lock would work -- Same results. Lock mechanism seems to be OK, not binding or anything; so I think the solenoid has gotten weak.
Has anyone had any problems with the door locks, similar to the above?
