Probably a bad relay in the door control module.

You might have a bad FOB - keyless remote. You can buy the OEM remote from keylesssuperstore through ebay for $12.99 each. I bought two, it is the exact remote the dealership sells for $90! Programming is very simple, see your Vette manual, or paperwork from keylesssuperstore.

Might want to read this thread. Could be your problem, or maybe not.

Does your interior door lock/unlock button work every time you use it?

You're assuming he has a 2001 or up car. Since he did not say in the question and also has not filled out a profile, there is no way to know. He won't buy the older fobs from anyone for less than $60, even used. In addition, the fob will not be the cause of the driver door only not unlocking. If the other door always opens with the fob, there is not a problem with the fob.

To jbhess, when you ask a question, list the year and style Vette you have if you want accurate answers. A new fob will not fix your issue. Follow the advice offered about the door wiring and relays.
