2003 Acura TL Type-S.

doors are locked. I manually pull up the lock on the passenger side.

After that, the passenger side can't be locked/unlocked using the power lock controls. From outside of the car, if I pull on the door handle, it feels really light and easy to pull.

(havent tried using the key from the outside, its my friend's car) + (he recently had severe front end dmg, no apparent door dmg. the front was repaired)

Any ideas?
