Power locks work on passenger door to lock drivers side but doesnt lock passenger lock. Power window works on passenger side but only when controlled from drivers side. Drivers side power options operate fine. Has anyone else encountered this before? Havent taken door panel yet just wanted to see if i can get some insight before i start trouble shooting

 

Welcome to the forum noholdnback.

What year is your Dakota and body style?

 

Thank you its a 97 slt reg cab, i took it apart this afternoon and realized i think im missing the mechnisim for the door but didnt take apart drivers side to compare yet will keep updated as i go

 

Which mechanism is missing?

The lock actuators can make an annoying squeal when they fail. Maybe someone pulled it because of that.
