Whoops, I meant to say right door. Not enough coffee this morning. My mistake.

Any idea what specifically I should be looking for?

Thanks

OK, as I understand you cannot lock the door using the switch or the manual handle. That would tend to tell me the issue is at the lock itself. You need to access it and first figure out why the mechanical interface does not work.

Good Morning, hope it's a nice morning down in SC!

Well, it's actually the power lock function is not working.
Manually, everything works fine.

When you hit lock/unlock, you hear the DCM making a click, but no result.

Cheers and thanks!

I've ordered a door lock actuator for ***** and giggles. along with the DCM let's see what happens.

I'd think this was all happening on my Porsche.

Probably the motor in the actuator. You can jumper 12 volts to it and see if it works. If it works one way it will work the other way. The module just changes the polarity to the motor. That would tell us if it is a relay(s) in the module or a wiring issue between the two.

Mr. Sam
Thank you sir, very informative.

Any instruction on how to swap out the door actuator?
I haven't visually located it but I assume it's still underneath

The actuator is the link I provided. The module is the black box in your picture.
