2012 Toyota Corolla Locks not Working

Asked by GuruXHQTX Oct 29, 2018 at 08:02 PM about the 2012 Toyota Corolla

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2012 Toyota Corolla, as of last week the door locks seem to be
malfunctioning. As I was locking my car door with my key fob, I noticed my
passenger side door would not lock (all other doors locked fine), and I had to
manually lock it from the inside. Then everything went back to normal and
locked fine the next couple of times I drove. Now my drivers side door wont
lock/unlock. I even tried using my key and manually turning it to unlock my
drivers side door today but it would not unlock and I had to crawl in through
the passenger side door to unlock the drivers door. Once again, once I finally
unlocked it, everything went back to normal and my door locks/unlocks like
normal again. Does anyone know what is wrong?

I think the door lock actuators might be going bad, you'll need to remove a door panel to see the problem when you can make it happen.
