This is how to fix the door locks that would click when you lock with a remote, but wont lock the door, there was no repair info on the Internet so i decided to upload this video after i found the solution rather than replacement of the latch.

My front passenger door had this problem. I was unable to fully remove the locking actuator from the car door b/c my window components were beyond impossible to remove.
However, I was able loosen the locking mechanism and push it back into the empty car door space. I used a long flathead screwdriver and wedge it between the small metal 'thingy' we need to bend and the hard metal housing around it. I pushed upward and caused the metal 'thingy' to bend downwards.
I lost the small copper spring to the left. I put everything back into place and tested the door. To my surprise the door locked and opened like new!!! I didn't need the spring! Save yourself some time and forget about the spring.
Thank you for sharing with us; this was fantastic fix!!
Do you have the video of how to get the door latch out??
Boom! Same issue and the bending mod worked for me too! Getting it out was quite the job though!
