I had a similar issue, my fob would lock/unlock all doors except for the driver one. I initially thought the actuator was bad to the driver door since the car would lock/unlocks all doors but not the driver door and it would not set the alarm either. I looked at the wire harness between the body and door and found that a wire was broken and it happen to be the one causing the issue. I repaired the bad spot and everything worked fine from there. Just something else to consider looking at if you do not find the issue elsewhere and the wires in that spot are know to break and cause issues. A new harness is roughly $150 but I was able to just repair my one wire and did not need to install a new harness entirely.

Good luck.
