Behind the keyhole there is a unit that uses small cables to extend the locking mechanism down to the level of the actuator. Sounds like one of those cables has failed.

To get to it you need to take out the handle ... to take out the handle you need to take out the window ... fun fun fun ... but not too difficult.

all doors lock when central button is pressed. The drivers door lever cable has snapped but the drivers door locks with the key, the other doors don't lock.I no longer have a working key fob.
