door wont lock

Ok don't laugh but I broke my friends front passenger door lock. I used my 3rd gen key to unlock his drivers door and that worked actually so I decide to try the passenger door. Didn't work. Now his passenger door doesn't lock. You lock it manually and it still opens. It looks like it locks but doesn.t Any help would be appreciated.

Is his car a 3rd gen also? why would you use your 3rd gen jey in his 4th gen car? The keys probably arent identical.

If it has power locks, does that work. or how about locking them with the CORRECT key. you only said it doesnt work manually (im assuming moving the lever on the inside)

if thats the case, then maybe the rod between the lever (next to the handle) and the lock cylinder somehow came loose. other than that, you might have totally f'd up the cylinder by using the wrong key.

Sorry bout the confusion his is a 4th gen mines a 3rd gen. I heard after a while the lock wears down and so I was like hmmmm. And the keys look the same so I was like what the hey. It opened his drivers door and thats working fine. So I tried passenger that one didn't work. He does have power locks and they go down and look like they're locked but they aren't. It doesn't work either way.

time to pull the door apart and check it out. its probably the linkage between the handle and the lock cylinder.
