[whiplash]

I haven't seen anyone else post anything about this so I'm guessing it's just mine. If I hit the lock button on the remote with the passenger side door open, it makes a loud 'chattering' sound for a couple seconds but won't lock. I have to wait until the door is closed, then it will lock fine.

Is it supposed to do that? I've always been able to lock the car with the doors open, then when you close the doors, they're locked. I can do it with the driver's side but not the passenger side. I'm almost tempted to live with it because I hate the idea of having the door panel removed! Everytime I've had a door worked on, it's never been the same. It ends up with a squeak or a rattle or they knick something...

Any suggestions??
