Drivers side door doesn't unlock

[macattac]

As the topic says, when I unlock via the fob the drivers side door does not unlock. The passenger side and the trunk does. I have to use the key to unlock the door.
Locking via the fob locks everything though.....thoughts on what must be replaced?

I had the exact same thing on mine. The fob would lock and unlock all the doors but not the driver one. It also would not actually arm the alarm even though it locked the other 3 doors. I never was aware of it until I happen to notice the driver door did not actually lock when I pulled on it.

For me the fix was in the wiring in the door jamb (if I recall it was brown or black), one of the wires has pinched in half and broken and I was able to repair it without needing to replace the entire harness that is not real expensive (about $125) but would need the old one removed and the new one ran through and connected. I was able to see the broken wire and tested it before I went further and that fixed the problem in my case.

Hopefully you can get as lucky as I did but you will need to cut a slit in the wire harness cover to expose the wires and see what you can in there. I was able to seal mine back up fine after the repair and everything has worked fine the past 2 years since I found the broken wire.

This is a very common area for wires to break and cause a lot of the issues with the items controlled by this harness.

Good luck.

It could also be a bad door actuator on the driver door, however like I said mine was just a broken wire in the door jamb harness that is a very common issue.

The alarm does engage...as far as I can tell...i.e the red led is flashing

My light flashed as well but was not actually armed. I would never have even noticed the driver door was not locking and arming had I not pulled on the handle and noticed it opened when I had locked it and the others were all locked. I always assumed it unlocked because I pressed the unlock button on the fob but realized it was always unlocked.

Like I said, that area is a good place to start and was my issue and sounds just like yours. I hope you figure it out.

Checked this morning before unlocking the car and the drivers side door was locked....unlocked using the fob....and lo and behold the door opened. So I guess the problem is intermittently occurring.....hate those....
