couple of questions on front doors

1. The passenger side silver switch to lock/unlock the doors doesn't work. Any clues? Is there a master switch somewhere else that enables/disables it?

2. The driver side door closes very tightly. wifey finds it difficult to open it. How can we fix it?

lol tell her its a security feature you installed so she will be safe in your car!

But it could be aground or something. Or the motor could be bad.

Worst case you would just have to popo off the door panel and take a look.

as for the door I had something like that happen to my moms van. The door kept hitting the bottom of the door sill, it turned out the hinge was kinda bent (mom didnt say why, 'it just happened one day!') pop the door off, replace the hinge and call it a day.

Hey AnimeWheels, did ya fix your door lock problem ? Was it actually a bad motor ?

Most times if not an electrical issue, then it's as simple as lubing up some of the sticky mechanisms within the door's interior. Check the power to the lock's actuator, if ya got it, then suspect a bad actuator.
