Hi all
I have a 1992 Vitara JLX but i am having a problem with the locking system.
It locks all the doors ok on turning the drivers side door lock but wont unlock using the key.
The drivers door unlocks but the passenger and tailgate stay locked.
Any ideas most welcome.

Try cleaning each door and window electrical switch with electrical contact cleaner, which is available in aerosol cans at places like Radio Shack. This fixed the problem on my '92 Sidekick JLX, which I believe is the North American version of the '92 Vitara sold in Europe, and elsewhere.

Thanks Woodrat, will give that a shot in the next couple of days.
