Default Door lock problem

Driver side door will not unlock with the key fob or with the unlock button. I have to open passenger door and reach through. Has anyone had this problem and is there an easy solution. Warranty out last November on my 01 Z06.

Probably the door control module - they are pretty notorious for failure.

Is this something which I can do or should I take to dealer? Is it located inside the door panel or elsewhere?

Did you do this yourself or did you have to take to dealer? I am trying to determine if I can replace module myself.

See if there are any codes stored in the Driver Information Center.

Try to unlock it manually and then toggle the switch back and forth a couple of times and see if you can't get it to work that way. That just happened to me a couple of days ago, and that took care of my problem.
