Default Door lock

My door went from sometimes locking. To staying locked. I get locked in my car sometimes, and the little red tab only moves about quarter inch from left to right. Or sometimes my door won't close, it'll just slam and bounce back open and I have to push lock and unlock several times for it to finally catch When i close it. Help, thank you

sounds like the lock mechanism is freezing up, try spraying some lube into the moving parts of the lock.

that or the solenoid of the door lock actuator is going out and not letting it move.

Does it make a sound like it's trying to move when you hit the power door locks?

They'll lock and unlock perfectly fine most of the time with the remote. But with the button the door won't unlock when I'm trying to get out. Yea I hear it trying to lock or unlock. But I don't hear any latching
