My driver's side door locks automatically as soon as it is closed, from inside or out. It will not open unless I turn the key and hold the key so the interior lock knob is up while operating the door handle. From inside,you have to pull the lock knob up -it fights you- and operate the door handle to get it to open. Similar problems have been mentioned on the vanagon list in the past, but the suggested approaches are vague: check continuity in the door wires, etc. I'd have a lot better luck diagnosing this if I could understand the principle of what is going on, which I don't..
