Drivers door does not lock with remote - 1994 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

no you needs a new lock actuator on that door its about $90 installed,
all the locks are on same circuit . sorry about the bad news :(

Hi Charles

The drivers side door gets the most use
Check the actuator wiring coming through the door hinge
If it works from the key then the Power to the door is OK & the key switch is ok. Must be trigger wire from wireless device receiver!

Good Luck

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.
