CDN97986: I had this same issue in my car. Passenger door wouldn't lock and alarm could not be engaged.

Turned out to be the locking mechanism in the passenger door. It needed to be replaced.

What makes the replacement challenging is that the 98-2002 passenger door mechanism is interchangeable because of the side airbags installed in the doors. Since our MY doesn't have side airbags the part is unique to the MY and in turn, is not stocked as frequently and costs more to replace.

It was also a pain in the butt to swap out because the triple star bolt pattern is not an easy tool to find.

So, if I were you I'd swap out this part and then try attaching the durametric cable and see if it all works better for you. That side airbag must have something to do with the locking assembly.
