Passenger side automatic lock stopped working
Hi all,
I have an 86 turbo with the automatic central locking option. The passenger side door lock does not respond to the lock button on the center console. However, if I stick my key in the passenger side door, there is some tension but the drivers side door locks and unlocks with the passenger side. If I stick my key in the drives side door and try to unlock and lock the car, the passenger side does not respond. It used to lock or unlock with the drivers side.
Finally, I have no idea how the drivers side window is related to the passenger side door lock, but when the window is fully up and i push the "up" button, the passenger door lock will twitch.
Hopefully I could get some help before I take the door panel off. I usually have bad luck with interior trim and always crack something.

Will be watching please post your fix. PIX would be great. I have been in there and didn't accomplish anything.
Thanks!

This sounds like the plastic linkage broke on the passenger side.
Fairly easy to check and replace. Here's Tom M'Guinn's classic write up on it:
