I don't know why the thing started working. I was driving over lots of speed humps and through paddocks so maybe something bumped it into place, even though I had been giving it gentle taps trying to sort it

Stops you from locking your keys in the car I spose. The door can only be locked internally when it's closed or with the key from outside if that makes sense. Doesn't explain why it wouldn't move when it was shut yesterday or over the weekend whenever I played with it

What about when you lift the door handle, then depress the lever?
