When you say that it will unlock but not lock, this makes me think the contacts in the switch are completely gone. To check this you will need to check continuity (closed circuit) for the lock switch, their are 2 pins you need to find, which one they are I do not know, one of pins is the power and the other is pin that feeds lock actuator. With putton push down you should have continuity across the switch, if no continuity replace the switch.

i used a flat head screw driver to remove the switch and i touched one of the metal pins (i guess you would call them that) that plugs in to the back part where the buttons are..

Verdad Gallardo i checked the fuses today..they're all good, but i did noticed that when my door is shut the manual lock will work...i cant remeber if its like this from the factory, to where you need to have the door shut in order for the manual lock button to work..any how when the door is open like stated wont work..when i do press it the beepin noise that you get when a door is open changes to a faster beep.
