Default Problems with my door lock?

I searched and couldn't find anything on it guys, so I have power locks and windows in my car, and when you lock the locks, they all lock except the drivers door. I've seen it work once. But you can lock the door from the outside with the key. Any suggestions?

Actuator. It's either disconnected or bad and needs to be replaced.

I have this same problem. I read online on 7th gen site that if you listen in the door and you hear it clicking that the actuator is still good? Mine still makes noise which makes me believe that it still works. Am I wrong? How would i check if it is still good?

The actuator may still make some noise but is too weak to lock/unlock the door. Mine does the same thing, but every once in a great while the power door lock will actually work.

It just doesn't bother me enough to change the actuator. I don't mind using the key.

I'll tell you how retarded I can be sometimes guys. It's a safety thing, the power lock won't lock when the driver's door is open. If you're in the car and all the doors are shut, all 4 doors lock. Lol.

I wouldnt mind using my key if the key lock actually worked. I put keyless entry to bypass the problem but now the damn thing doesnt unlock. Ill try and replace actuator. Thanks Guys
