So now that door will open from either the inside or outside easily whether the doors are locked or not. Even when the lock button on that door is down, the door is not locked. The button however does go up/down as it should when locking the car. So do you think this points to a vacuum or a linkage issue?\
I think you are past the mity-vac stage in diagnosis. What you are saying indicates that either the lock linkage is broken or the lock itself is malfunctioning.
