I need some help guys!

My girlfriend decided it would be a good idea to hit a trashcan with her passenger side mirror. After she got a $800.00 quote to replace the mirror she called me. Being the sucker that I am, I replaced her power mirror motor and the mirror is working fine.

The next time she drove the car she discovered that the passenger side door lock doesn't always come unlocked. It doesn't matter if you do it with the door locks or the remote.

The door locks fine. To unlock the door, most of the time you must push lock twice and then unlock. If you just push unlock it only tries to move a little.

If you manually push on the door locks with your finger the other 3 have a stronger snap action to them. The passenger side that is not working well has weaker snap action.

I took the door apart for the 2nd time and didn't notice anything broke or out of place.

So now I am trying to decide what might be going on?

I have attached a video to try to show what is going on.

There was a previous post somewhere on here regarding the motors wearing out in the lock mechanism and Lexus charging an arm and a leg for the "module" - but you can find the motors and replace the end with the gear from the dead motor, saving $$$. Sorry I don't have the link readily available right now.
