Power lock problem

Hey all, I have an 01 Ranger with power locks. The other day I noticed that the unlock function function on the driver's side does not work, but I can lock the doors from that switch. To be more clear, the doors lock and unlock just fine, just not with the driver's side button. I'm guessing that I should just replace the switch, but thought I would see what else it could be before I went and bought the switch. Thanks!

I had this problem on my 99, drivers side same problem. When I took the finish panel off the interior and found corrosion on the connections. Cleaned it put alittle dielectric on the pins she's still working good. Sure beats buying a new switch.

Just swap it with the one off the passenger side, i'm sure it hardly gets as much use as the drivers side.
