How to lubricate 1999 Chevy Tahoe passenger side door lock which sticks when using remote but unlocks with driver side unlock button or key?
I had the same problem with my 1996 tahoe, the best way I have found is to get a can of PB BLASTER penetrating oil. Then spray the lock mechanism on the door and let it sit. Then try working the lock from both the manual lock and the remote. If that does not work, you may have to remove the door panel and lubricate the lock linkage from the inside of the door. BE Careful removing the trim piece on the door handle, it will break easily. It's a good idea to spray all of the locks and mechanisms on a regular basis to keep them from sticking. ANSWER You could have a weak door lock solenoid that is not fully moving the unlocking mechanism.

How does operating remote garage door opener when door is locked affect garage door opener?
If you have a garage door that has a lock engaged and you try to use an opener to get the door to go up, the motor (opener) will still try to engage and move the door into the up position. The motor and the lock will be fighting against each other and could damage your door. It could also damage the lock. If you have an opener on your garage it is always best to remove the lock. A garage door opener acts as a lock on it's own so it's unnecessary to have both.
