Red face Power door locks

Any ideas on how to fix the driver's door lock? The lock/unlock feature is sporatic with key fob, exterior key pad, and interior door lock/unlock button. Works fine with key and all other doors lock/unlock correctly.

Most likely the acuator is going bad. I've had to replace one after the same symptoms became worse. It wouldn't lock at all and only open about once every 10 times.

Luckily, the actuator is a really easy swap.

Just do a search in the threads and you will find very detailed info on a repair, and to replace the bad units with new. Even has part numbers and the like.
