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.
