So my drivers door sounds like it's trying to unlock, but it then relocks again without it ever unlocking. The sound is a bit faint on the drivers door compared to whennitnwas working properly. So I checked with the obdeleven and drivers door actuator grounded.. So assume this means it's a failed door actuator.
However what throws me, is if i press unlock and it doesn't unlock on the outside, if I have the window open I can pull the inside handle it opens the door. How can I open the door if the door isn't unlocked? Or do the inside and outside handles operate on a different locking mechanism? I expected if it was the lock actuator that opening from the inside would also not work..
Any suggestions? I don't particularly want to pull the trim off without having an actuator sitting there. But I also don't want to waste money buying an actuator. Any ideas of good places to buy the actuator if so?
