Sounds like a bent or binding metal rod in the locking system??

Like in the old days people "slim jimmed" their trucks when the keys were locked inside. Maybe someone hung the tool up on a lock rod and bent it???

I “think” the problem is with the door lock pawls. I’ve got a set on the way now.

Apparently that is the part that is side specific. They are clocked differently, the pass side and the drivers side. The one on the pass side is not even close to lining up with the locking mechanism.

Hopefully I’ll have an update with positive results in a week or so.
