Not Sure If This Is The Right Place. Any Body Having Problems With The Driver Side Door Lock. Seems To Get Suck In The Half Open Postion With The Key Fob.

My passenger side does the same thing. Mine will close all the way but not open.

On the older trucks (out of warranty anyway...), just take your door panel off and pull the lock rod out of the clips on the door sheet metal and try to run the locks- more often than not they are getting bound up on white plastic slides, or at the lock mech. itself. If it works fine when out of the plastic slides, clean them and the rod GOOD, and use a silicone type spray, ect. (just don't put another "grease" on there- they tend to get stiff when cold and hold onto dirt very well...). Hope this helps you out!
