Door won't unlock sometimes

Anyone have an issue with a door on their car not unlocking yet all 3 other doors unlock? Before it was our front passenger door but lately it has been our driver door now. Happens maybe 1-2x/wk and sometimes not at all. Is this a key programming issue? I tried to lubricate the door lock mechanism but not sure if that's what the problem is.

Very common according to my tech. Sorry but the switch needs replacement. I'm doing mine now before warranty expires.

Ouch. What switch are you referring to? Cost? No warranty for me.

I'll ask tomorrow, but I know its the driver door latch mechanism as well as the window switch on the driver side that go bad.

I'll let you know.

I have the same issue on my drivers front door. When I press the lock button on key fob, three doors lock except the drivers door.

... old thread, but maybe somebody got sorted out this issue and has p.n. ?

EDIT: got this sorted out by doing output tests with ProDiag software and since then (few months) it is working fine
