Central locking won't lock all doors
One of the doors is not locking automatically when I press the central locking button on my key. If I go up close and press the key towards the door it sometimes locks, but not automatically like the other doors. What should I do ? I don't want to take it to the dealership if it's just a quick and easy fix.

If you can access the lock servo with the nozzle of a can of WD 40 (Water Dispersant 40) that might free it up.
