Sometimes when I unlock the car with the remote the drivers door doesn't unlock. I'm also have the same issue on my 03 Santa Fe. Is this known Hyundai problem?
06 Sonata with the same problem. Seems like it might be the actuator but at times it work perfectly. May remove the trim panel to check for a loose connection before I spend 150 for a new actuator

My problem is exactly the same. The driver door lock will not lock or unlock with the remote, or the control on the doors. It wil lock with the manual lock, and will unlock with the key.

I have a 2002 Sonata. My problem is that the remote will lock the car but it won't unlock the car. The button on the driver's side door that is suppose to unlock the doors will also not work.

All doors were locked, went to unlock the front drivers door and wouldn't unlock with key, but was able to unlock the passenger front door with key, but immediately all doors locked again.All doors were locked, went to unlock the front drivers door and wouldn't unlock with key, but was able to unlock the passenger front door with key, but immediately all doors locked again.

Since driver door is locked and cannot and will not unlock from outside or inside, where can the lock actuator be found.Since driver door is locked and cannot and will not unlock from outside or inside, where can the lock actuator be found.

The rear door problem is the lock actuator. The problem with locks keep activated when you close driver door. My uncle's Santa Fe has same problem and couldn't fix problem under any circumstances. I even rebuilt the entire lock system didn't help
1. Start with key out of ignition, drivers door is open all others closed and drivers door is unlocked. 2. Insert key into the ignition (Do NOT Turn) and Pull key out. 3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds. A. Using the power lock switch on the drivers door, perform 5 lock/unlock cycles starting with lock. Use an even pace and try to go about one cycle per second. (1Cycle = 1 lock and 1 unlock). B. Close, then open drivers door. 4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds. A. Using the power lock switch on the drivers door, perform 5 lock/unlock cycles starting with lock. Use an even pace and try to go about one cycle per second. (1Cycle = 1 lock and 1 unlock). B. Insert the key in the ignition cylinder. C. Turn the ignition to ON (Do NOT Start) then back to OFF. D. Remove the key from the ignition. 5. Press any button on remote for a minimum of 1 second. System should now lock and unlock doors once.
6. Close and open drivers door. 7. Press any button on remote for a minimum of 1 second. System should now lock and unlock doors. Once to confirm programming, twice to indicate programming failed. 8. Repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 for additional remotes.
your problem sounds like the door lock actuator motor has failed this is located behind the door panel, you can test for power and ground at the actuator while pressing the remote buttons if power and ground are present replace the actuator
