Driver side door locking with remote but will not unlock, if i unlock it with key then remote will unlock all other door, if all doors are locked remote will not unlock the car. Once i manually unlock driver side door, remote will work fine unlocking remaining doors. remote works fine when locking, all doors lock with remote including driver side. I googled and found something wrong with lock actuator with some cars where remote is not locking as well as unlocking driver side door. but my case seems different as mine driver side door locks but not unlock.

    i want to add that power button on driver door is working fine. i can lock and unlock all doors from driver side door switch which also confirm that door actuator is not weak or faulty.

    It's so strange that the remote will unlock all of the other doors when one was unlocked with the key. I'm having a similar problem with my Subaru, but I can't open the door with the key. I'm not sure if you've fixed it, but it might be a good idea for us both to find a locksmith to see if he can fix it. http://www.kwikkeys.com/about

It is not the actuators, try a different remote, you may have an issue with the car security system/body computer not functioning on the unlock driver door command, one press of remote is unlock driver door and 2 presses is unlock the other doors.

SOURCE: I changed the lock actuator on my 2004 mitsubishi endeavor, but the key fob will not work on that door

check the wires in the rubber boot between the door pillar and the door for a break in the wire or loose plug socket ,check for a feed to the lock with a multimeter as well whilst operating the system as i think this is your problem here -no power

SOURCE: Chevy Impala Door lock issue

Which is it, 98 Eclipse, or 06 Impala? Either way, your door lock actuator is stuck in the locked position either electrically or mechaically. The way to check this is to remove the door panel and unplug the actuator. If door lock can now be moved then you have an electrical problem (faulty door lock switch or faulty door lock module). If you still cannot unlock door then actuator is mechanically bad and must be replace (usually the case)

SOURCE: 1998 Toyota Corolla Electric Door Lock Problem

You'll need to replace the solenoid (motor) that doesn't work. Not hard once you get the door panel off. I suggest you buy the correct part, not a universal one.

Removed body control 50 amp fuse from 2007 nissan quest and front doors driver side door is locked

The body control module is responsible for controlling various electrical functions in a vehicle, including door locks. Removing the 50-amp fuse could have caused the module to reset, which may have resulted in the driver side door becoming locked.
To resolve the issue, try the following steps:
  1. Turn the vehicle off and remove the key from the ignition.
  2. Close all doors, including the driver side door.
  3. Lock the vehicle using the key or remote.
  4. Wait for a few seconds, then unlock the vehicle using the key or remote.
  5. Check if the driver side door is unlocked. If not, try using the key or remote to lock and unlock the door again.
If the above steps do not work, there may be a problem with the body control module or the door lock actuator. In this case, it is recommended to consult a certified mechanic for further assistance.

Since the driver's door gets the most use, and all circuits run through the master switch, check driver's door first and check the wiring at the hinge area for breaks.

2000 cadillac deville driver side won't open with the key

1) Key turns but dose not unlock door. This means that the rod that goes to the back of the lock has came off. This also means that is the reason door is not unlocking with the remote as it pops the lock rod inside the door which pushes the lock open.
2) Key does not turn lock at all but works passengers side door. This means that the locks has been changed in the door, but that doesn't sound like the problem as you say the remote doesn't open the drivers side door so more than likely the rod has came off the back of the lock

My 2003 Honda CRV ...drivers side door does not lock with fob. All other doors lock. When I lock the drivers side door with the key, it won't unlock with the fob.

you may need to replace the door locking actuator, they do tend to go bad over times. does the driver side door lock automatic when using the lock button on the driver side. if you can lock and unlock the driver side door with a switch, my guess would not be the locking actuator, it might be in the remote locking module.
