Default Driver door wont lock.. whats wrong?

Hello,
I have a 2007 GLS Sonata. And suddenly when i lock my doors with the remote, the driver door wont lock but every other door will lock.

Is it a fuse? Can you guys please help...

Thanks in advance!

It's probably a bad lock solenoid in the drivers door. Take it back to the dealer to have it fixed under warranty.

Latch-actuator assembly.. common problem with any of the 4 doors on Sonata.

Comes as latch with actuator and cables attached.

Thank you very much!

My car is not under warranty and the local dealership is a rip off (i.e. they were going to charge me around $300 to change my windshield fluid pump when all it was was some soup goue stuck in it)

If i buy the part, can i install it myself? (broke college student)
is this the part?

No, the part in your ebay link is not what you looking for.

The correct part is a door latch assembly, with internal actuator, has 2 long cables on it for the lock and door handle at the door panel, and a 3rd short cable that goes to the outside door handle..


If you know what you is doing, you can do it in about 75 minutes taking your time.
