Removed & replaced door panel...now power locks are acting screwy

I was installing some aftermarket front door speakers the other day, so I had the door panels off for that. Once I put them back on though, the power locks are acting really weird. The passenger side door switch lets you LOCK the locks, but not UNLOCK. The driver door switch doesn't do anything to the locks. Anybody have any idea what this might be before I mess with pulling the door panels off again?

Two possibilities come to mind, either a loose plug on the switch, or the panel's not quite in the right place and the lock button is binding.

Good points. I'll remove the passenger side panel today and see what I see. BTW...I didn't get an email notification of your reply.

Problem appears to be electrical, not mechanical. No loose plug or lock obstruction. What's next?

Don't know if it will help, but when I took my door panels off to replace the mirrors, I managed to bind the wires where they went behind the paneling and actually cut one of the wires. You might want to take a close look to make sure you haven't done the same for some reason.
Good luck
