Why not just swap the driver's door lock/handle with the one from the passenger side? They are interchangeable. If you don't know how to do this, let me know - it takes about 5 minutes to do. Dan

It fits the ignition and PS door flawlessly, however. For awhile I could UNlock the door, but that functionality recently ceased to exist. The key actually is slightly chipped in one place near the haft, but somehow this ONLY affects the driver's door. What a PIA. Should I go ahead and order a second OEM key from the dealer based on the car's VIN, or could the problem lie with the DS door lock?
