Hello,
my car has developed a power door lock problem that is getting increasingly
worse. sometimes, especially in the mornings or after work but not limited
to these times, when I use my key to lock or unlock the car from drivers
side door, it only locks/unlocks itself and the other 3 doors remain locked
or unlocked. when I use the passenger side door, it works perfectly and
operates all 4 doors. today I was at the dealer for regular service and of
course the problems was not there...it was working perfectly. the service
guy told me that the left door lock assembly has to be replaced. the part
itself is around $190 and I kind of thought that it was little bit too much.
I am wondering if there is something that can be done to it before replacing
the lock?

Unfortunately, we here in Turkey don't have a wrecking/junk yards (or online
used parts stores) where we can go and get the parts that we need.

Thank you all.
