yeah, ive got that problem, my friend has that problem....and im sure a lot of other people have this problem..... i just ended up buying power doors and put an alarm on it....that solved my problem....but you could always take the passenger key hole out and put that one in the drivers side.... im sure you could call a locksmith, if you want to pay doug

I had that problem too it sucks you gotta open the passenger door and reach over and unlock and walk back around and look like an ass... I shaved the whole damn handles lol that solved my problem and looks bad ass! You can get a shaved door handle kit for like $100 just something to keep in mind!

heheh i have some knew friends....
i know how to solve this problem (works for me)
first off try turning the key to the left then right or however, go one direction then the other....
If this doesnt work then turn the key as far as possible to the unlock position.... then lift the door handle with the key turned.... this works good too.
hope this helps

then your lock is frozen up and coroded i think. my hatch lock was like this and my pssenger side didnt have one, thats why i had to buy all new locks. I got all 3 locks and a key for like 40 bucks of this board.
