just bought a 94 sidekick 4dr.
has door lock issues, the vibartion of closing the door locks the door.
you can see the door latch drop when door is closed.
has anyone else had this issue & is there an easy fix.

It would appear that you have a bad connection or broken insulation in the wire somewhere, which is shorting out with the vibration of the car. The schematic for the door lock system is here, post #8:

I don't have power locks

Interesting. I've never heard of this problem before, but will assume that you will have to take the door card off the door to look at the lock mechanism and see why, when the mechanism hits the striker, it is causing the rod that the lock knob sits on, to go down.

Maybe the part that moves when you push the lock tab down is super loose.
