I took apart the driver door to replace the window motor and mechanism, I put it all back together, and the window works great! I go for a drive and goto open the door, no dice. The mechanism moves, but evidently something behind the sheetmetal shadows is not working anymore. So I've paused my door locking/unlocking problem to focus on getting out of my car without looking ghetto.

Sorry about the missing signature, I hope I don't get kicked off this forum! I bought the car as an experiment - to test biodiesel on. I haven't made my first batch, but I'm getting my stuff ready. The car was sitting in a field for 5 years, I bought it from a co-worker who lives in Surry County. He drove it for many years, and got fed up with the stupid things breaking. The motor was rebuilt 60k miles ago, it now has 276k. There was a mouse in the trunk when I opened the spare tire lid, a snake skin in the dash, no lie! The rear window leaked so I had to gut her, power wash and odor gone the interior, it's not perfect, but it does smell better.

Thanks
