Having ongoing problems with the tired drivers door lock. Passenger lock works fine.
Q: Are the two locks interchangeable?

Unfortunately not. The lock arms are handed, so fitting a passenger lock to a drivers door means it won't engage with the mechanism.

What exactly is the problem? It won't turn with the key?
