Interior lock switch locks, but doesn't unlock
I searched threads for this, but only within LS, so I may have something unique here.
My passenger side interior door lock switch locks the doors, but does not unlock them. The actuator is working perfectly; driver's side switch will lock and unlock all doors, as will the remote. but the interior switch on the door panel does not unlock. I took it out, sprayed the contact points on the plug, physically examined by pulling the plastic button off to reveal the triggers, all seems fine. 20-30 trials, and just dead on unlock only. The switch is about $60, not horrible actually. Should I just order it and call it a day? Or does someone think there is another way here? A setting I am missing? I looked at my manual, didn't see anything about this.
Not too urgent, just probing here. Of course I know you can flip the thing yourself, but I am one of those people who needs everything working. Thanks.

If you are not in a hurry find a used one on eBay. Most switches in these cars can be had for less than $10 if you keep looking. Or call around to local junkyards and see it they have one.
