Hi Mike,

	I'm having the same problem at present. Last week the ball 'n socket
connection on the lock popped off and this time I couldn't get it back on by
removing the rubber grommet at the back of the door. I had to pull the inside
panel off, and in the process of reconnecting it I think I may have taken a
clockwise turn on the plastic socket on top of the locking rod. Now I have to
hold the drivers key fully counterclockwise for an extra second before ALL the
doors will unlock. I'm going to remove the inside panel again and back that
lil' plastic socket off a turn or two...when I feel motivated:-) It's warm up
here...Because you can actuate all the locks from inside the car with the
post/stick I would have to think that the key just isn't raising the post high
enough???


HTH,
