[V8] Door locks

[Coleman, David]

I don't think so...  If I just twist and hold, all locks open at the same time, after a short hold time.  But if I give just a quick twist, the driver's side (only) opens immediately.   If this is broken, then I sure ain't fixin' it.

The others in question cannot unlock the driver's only.
