David this is an easy fix,
Get a new or second hand lock solonoid and remove the door card, peel back carefully the membrane and you will see the lock solonoid, it is held if i remember bya couple of screws/bolts, disconect the electrical plug and remove, replace is reversal of removal as they say.
NOTE, THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PLUG USED DEPENDING ON MODEL YEAR, BOTH CAN BE USED BUT YOU MAY NEED A CABLE TIE TO KEEP THE 2 HALFS TOGETHER. :y
