Default Passenger Door wont lock?

Having trouble...when I hit the lock button from either door the passenger side will not lock. I just hear a click but nothing happens. If I manually lock it and hit unlock...that works fine. It is only doing it to the passenger side...any tips? Help? Not sure what part has gone bad. There is the whole brain assembly on the door and then there is the small motor assembly that has 2 harnesses going into it. It is on the inside of the door really close to the lock mechanism/latch.

Need some pointers.

Thanks Nate. I read both of the posts. Anybody have any directions as far as the procedure. Is there 4 pins or 5 that need to be desoldered/resoldered? I have never done this particular job before and don't want to mess up a $400 part. I plan on doing both the middle and bottom relay which should be the locking and unlocking. Is there any reason to do the top one?

Any tips kindly appreciated from someone that has done this themselves.

When I did it I took the relays I got from Digikey to a C.B . radio shop and had a tech there solder in the relays, they are experts at circuit board repairs.
