Mine was doing the same thing. Its the Door Lock Mechanism. It has a microswitch inside the door that cant be replaced except if you replace the whole mechanism. Mine is currently on its way.

Mine started with the lock on the dash just like you and then after a few weeks of that the drivers window started shuttering up and down when you would open the door making it hard to close the door if the window was not dropped down.

Also my drivers door had issues locking everytime from outside the car with the key. It would lock sometimes and other times it would not.

Hope this helps.

thanks, that was helpful
how much is the whole mechanism?
Where did you order it?

I ordered my part last week and am waiting for it any day now. I will give you the info once I get the part cuz I cant remember it right now. Should be a easy DIY. I have taken the switch/Door Lock out already and put it back in and it worked for a few days. But now I am replacing it.
