The switch for my power door locks on the driver and passenger side doors does not unlock the doors anymore. It will work to lock the doors from the inside, but not unlock them. The manual buttons still work a-ok. I do not have a keyless, or remote to unlock the doors, and the key still works in the locks. My car is a 98 legacy L, 2.2.

 

Any thoughts?

Sounds like the switch contacts. I'd clean them or replace the sw.

The problem may be due to a broken wire in the door jam, on the driver's side.

Thanks! I'm going to try to take it apart sometime soon to take a peek. I have to revise my initial symptoms though, the passenger side door lock switch does work to lock and unlock all the doors, so it's just the driver side door that is mucked up.

Well if the passenger door switch is okay then I would suspect the switch contacts are just dirty in the switch for the driver side.
