Driverside Vacum Lock gone. help!
hello, today i noticed that i cant unlock/lock the car from the driver side door any more. usually, there would be pressure that pushes up against the key but this time there isn't. does anyone know whats the problem with it? i have to go to the trunk to open/close the door. thanks!

Could be a failed door lock actuator or a loose vaccum line to the accuator. Either way, you'll need to remove the inside door panel (just takes a screwdriver and knowing what to pop up) to have a look.

unscrew screw in outside part of door where it locks with the plastic c around it. then pop off the plastic cover around the top of the handle and unscrew the bolt (8mm i think) then you push the part with the handle towards the outside of the door(undoes handle) and pop off the seat buttons and take off the surrounding and unscrew the screws holding that in place(2 on opposite corners). then you just pull the panel up. you just do the opposite to put it back on.
