Driver door switch doesn't unlock

I've searched and searched and haven't found a solution. My driver lock/unlock button will only lock the doors. This started before the actuator fix. I swapped my pass door switch over to test and the same thing happens. Pass switch performs both functions fine. Knowing electrical issues can be evading I also put the dr side to the passenger and both lock/unlock worked. So as far as I can tell with a test light the Lt Green/pink tracer on the driver side is not getting power.

Am I stuck with tracing the wire down until I find power? I'm looking for a common breaking point in the wire if there is one. I've searched threads back to 2007 and the closest answer I've found was a possible relay but with that both sides did the same thing. I'm gonna try to swap a relay and see if that does anything.

If anyone has had the same issue please post up before I go unravelling wires.

First place to look for bad wire is in door jam where they move when you open and close the door.

I've found out the driver side has its own unlock relay. I'm gonna look into that first and then move on the the wires if that's not it. K.I.S.S. I tend to dig further than I need to on these things. Thanks for the reply.
