Drivers door lock not working
Any ideas of what could be wrong?
When I use my auto lock, door key or key pad, all the locks unlock except the drives door. I does not pop up and to open the door, I have to get in from the passenger side and open the drivers door with the handle.

Did it deteriorate over time (i.e. it got slugish?) or was it all of a sudden? It sounds like you either have had a failure in the solenoid itself (that pushes or pull the door lock) or in the wiring to it. It could be simply unplugged but that is not likely.

You dont say what year, but on a 97 the drivers door unlock relay is in the left rear near the rear washer pump. The relay might be bad or possibly a loose wire back there or an open between there & the door lock motor.
