Default drivers door problems

As title states the driver door work sometimes and also takes time off. Sometimes the key is needed to enter car, and I must flip lock at times to get out. Wondering if it could be door module and if so does anyone rebuild them. Thanks mine is a '99 frc

Go to the Tech Section and check out one of the stickys on electrical. Could be the module but could be the wire harness where door mounts to the A pillar/frame. Would think the exterior handle is a mechanical connection and not electrical.

I think it is your LDCM.

Here is how to access it:
