your question is a bit confusing.
Which locks work with the key fob? Which locks work with the door switches? Try all the switches. Lock actuators are common failure items on these trucks. If you get a lock and/unlock anywhere with the key fob I'd say it's probably fine, and start tracking down faulty lock actuators.
edit:
after rereading your post, I'd gues the drivers actuator and switch are bad. Not uncommon as they are used the most.

Same thing happened to my truck. There is a resistor in the actuator that goes bad. below is a thread that allows you to fix the problem with a small piece of aluminum foil. Be advised that there is some contriversy concerning this. If you bypass the resistor, you could overload the actuator and burn it out (if you keep your arm leaning on the lock switch on the door). My opinion is that it's a slim chance and I was looking at replacing the actuator anyway so what the heck!
