New here. I have an 05 LE runs great but lately i've been having trouble with the door locks. I don't have keyless entry but have power door locks. Sometimes when i shut off the car then hit the button between the seats to open the door it does'nt work and i can't even pull up door lock manually. I am locked in the car. WTF.

check the wiring near the hinge between the door and sill at the fire wall. Some times the wires can fray causing the locks to do strange things.

The reason why you can manually pull the lock up is because the car thinks you have already exited and shut the door. It's a security feature so people cant reach in the the window or sunroof and pop the locks.

Good luck!
