I just picked up a 99 classic that needs sorting out. The door locks work electric for rear doors but passenger is not working. It is set (door switch inside) on lock but opens and closes as if not locked. Using key outside it will not lock manually. I took door panel off and rods are all there. When I hit switch with panel off the door switch will move to unlock but not all the way. Put door panel back on and lock swich is stuck on lock again. Any thought on how to fix?

thanks

sounds like something has gone wrong in the latch mechanism. if I recall correctly the power lock actuator is built into the door latch on the late models. I would start by taking the latch out and trying to clean and re-grease all the moving parts. also check the interior handle side and make sure the plastic clips that hold the rods into the handle assembly are still there and not cracked or disconnected.
