Ive had a search for this but I cant find a reference that seems to fit my problem. Some time ago the drivers door lock ceased working through the remote or dash switch (common problem) but I wasn't too concerned as I could lock/unlock the door with the key. I replaced the lock today, but not only does the new one not work - the external lock wont work either. I have swapped the locks back thinking that if it goes back to how it was I am no worse off, but the external lock still wont work. Where it used to work smoothly it is now very difficult to turn the key either way and wont lock/unlock at all. I am reduced to locking the door by opening the rear passenger door and pressing down the button and opening it by getting in the passenger side and pulling the catch. I have read that there can be an obstruction problem when feeding the button up into its hole, but this doesn't seem to be like that. I have given up in frustration for today, but tomorrow I will try the fuses or a battery re-set, but I wondered if there were any other suggestions..... QUID FACIUM TIBI

When you replaced the door card, there are some clips on the top , that you have to push the door card into, these sometimes drift over by the locking button and stop it going down(ask me how I know)

The lock button goes up and down full travel without any difficulty when the door is closed so I dont think that is the problem. I will try removing the outer lock tomorrow to see if I have routed the button incorrectly and fouled the locking mechanism. At least if I can sort that I will be able to go back to locking/unlocking the door with the key. QUID FACIUM TIBI
