Rear passenger door does not always open freely 200 1990

Hello guys and gals,
Sometimes when I go to open the rear passenger door it only
opens up about .5 of an inch, then it catches somewhere and
in order to get it to open I have to pull up on the door lock
button. This happens about 1/4 of the attempts to open up
the door.
If I open and shut the door numerous times without locking it
it locks up after a few times.
It seems as if the lock button is 'slipping in' and locking the
door sometimes, but only 'slipping or falling in' a small bit.
I can only get he door to open, when it does this, if I pull up on it own button.
If I try to use the key or the master door after it has locked
itself it will not unlock, but only if I pull up on its own button.

I opened up the door guts and could not see anywhere
to adjust the lock.

Maybe I have a ghost who is locking the door?

Any assistance is appreciated,
Joseph in New Mexico
