Best Answer

It depends on what the indicators are. Usually lubricating the lock with spray lubricant like Triflow or WD40 work. Never use graphite in locks as it tends to get clogged in the springs. If the lock is difficult to turn after this, then there might be a linkage problem which would require removing the door panel and finding the bind or other issue.

First remove the Door panel on the vehicle and make sure any of the lock or handle rods are not broken or diaconected. Secondly if that's not the problem you may have a broken door latch. Price varies per brand name on parts but it should not be a huge fix.

Remove the door panel, retrieve the lock and put it back in its retainer. Check the lock handle to see if the plastic is broken as most locks falling inside the door actually occur because someone has punched the lock in an attempt to break in.
