Hi,

Do any of the other door locks work? If they are working properly, then I suspect there could be an issue at a splice for the left front door. Does the driver's door open with the second click of the fob?

I attached the wiring schematic below related to the door locks. It was 2 pages long, but I had to cut the schematics in half to make them readable for you. I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next, and I highlighted the wiring for that lock motor.

Here is what I suggest, I need you to check for power going to the lock motor when you press the fob one time. Now, there will be a blue wire and a white wire at the motor. One will get power when you lock and the other when you unlock. Check both to see what is happening.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find or have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

All doors lock. Just the driver door won't unlock no matter what. Even push unlock button and remote one press don't beep also.

Let me know. There may be an open circuit that powers that lock motor to unlock. Let me know if you find power to both wires at the motor.

Note, one wire will get power when locking, and the other will when unlocking. They won't both get power at the same time. One will power and the other provides a ground path to complete the circuit.

Take care and let me know if I can help.
