How do you recommend to fix a car door lock?

I have a 2001 explorer sport-trac and the locking mechanisms throughout the vehicle are falling apart. The driver door is my main concern; power lock no longer pops up, the physical keylock doesn't pop the lock any longer and finally the outside handle snapped off on one side and no longer opens the door from the outside. I have to crawl from the back or passenger side to open. How should I fix this? Replace individual parts or can I take the whole mechanism off and replace from the junkyard? I've never worked on the locks before.

Answer:

It is really just like a cross between a can of hair spray and an air cylinder, filled with CO2 or powder. The reference shows some pictures that can not be reporduced in this forum.
Typically, there is a small switch on the side of the card (kind of like the ones one the old floppy drives). By flipping that switch, you lock or unlock the card. Otherwise, it is likely a software part of your camera. Look in the manual if you still have it, or google search your error with your camera model.
The small switch was the answer , thanks .
