Does the motor still whir over?

If so it might be as simple as tightening up a lock nut that is pushing the rods.

Open up ur door and have a look

Happened to me and it cost $50 if you don't want to go through the hassle of doing it yourself.

you mean the motor of that door?
It seems that it doesn't work.
i can lock and unlock all the doors from outside that door but can't do it from inside.

So when u push the button outside, all the doors can lock and unlock via the central locking?

But if you flick the lock on the door from the inside (drivers door I take it) The other doors wont lock and unlock.

If this is the case the motor is fine and it's probably just a loose nut.

when i push the button outside, only three doors can lock and unlock via the central locking besides the front passenger's one.
i can lock and unlock all the doors by key from outside of the passenger's door. but if i try to lock or unlock passenger's door from inside, only that door can be locked or unlocked.

i can hear the motors of other three doors working, but not sure the passenger's door is working or not.

Mitsu to get ripped off. Auto Electrician/car audio and security shop might be the better option

Where did u goto Mad iX?

Yeah I went to an Auto Electrician near my mechanic.
He was RACV certified or something similar if that means anything to you.
