Have you replaced your door lock actuator before? I had this problem after I replaced mine once.
Ok so basicly my key wont go in all the way I have to keep wiggling it and once it's in it won't turn the lock on my driver side door. Then if the door it open and I lock it from the inside by pushing the lock nob down it won't go down. Does anyone have a clue what's wrong ?

No never had. I know it's not the key itself because it works fine on the other doors.

Ok so I can lock my door from the inside if I pull on the door handle but the key still won't turn from the outside. Anyone have any clue on what this could be or how to fix it

your lock cylinder in the door is probably worn out. Your keyless entry doesnt work?

I would just use the keyless entry and not worry about it.
If you want your key to work in the door you have a few options. You can replace the lock cyl. it will come with its own key, you can then use that key in the door but you will have to use your other key in the ign. If you dont like this idea then you can possibly have the new cyl's tumblers replaced with ones that will fit your old key. you will have to have this done at a dealership or possibly a locksmith.
the last and most expensive option is to replace the entire keyset, which includes the ign switch which will have to be programmed at a dealer.
good luck!
I have the same problem. My keyless entry doesn't work though. I hear it making a noise, but it doesn't lock or unlock. The only way I can lock my drivers door is to have the door open, pull the door handle up, then press the door lock down. To unlock it, I have to go to in from my passenger door and manually unlock it from the inside. It sucks.
From the research I've done and people I've talked to said it's the door lock actuator, which is only $17 on amazon. I'm going to replace mine in about a week or so to see if it does the trick.
Smooth ep3 whats the link to that door actuator i am going to replace mine soon as well both driver door and passenger door need this

Why dont you swap the cylinder over from the passenger side. Its not a bad job. Theres a metal clip you slide from the bottom. Looks like a bent up paper clip or a roll up window door handle clip if you've ever seen one.
Can i swap the cylinder on my own without seeking help from a local locksmith? If you know any of these ideas please share it with me.
Try replacing the door actuator, the problem must be there. Else, a local locksmith also can help fixing the issue.
