Drivers door won't lock!

Hi all,

I finally have purchased a 2003 GXL which fits my bill nicely. Have had a couple of small teething problems one of which has just occurred today. After a shopping trip, got home and went to lock the car via the remote and while the locks clicked, the lights did not flash and on inspection, the drivers door wasn't locked. Checked all the doors for 'shutness' and tried again with same result. Then tried locking the drivers door with the key and it still won't lock. The door open warning light is out but the interior light stays on until after 20 seconds or so it goes out as per normal.

Have been checking the forum for potential fixes or central locking reset but can't find anything. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Garry

Sorted! Pulled the door skin off this morning and found one of the actuator cables from the door handle to the lock, had become unclipped. Probably my fault when I refitted the skin after a recent speaker upgrade. Anyway, now off to do some driving!
