Default Driver side door lock won't lock

I have a 1998 convertible. When using the power switch and key fob to unlock the doors everything works fine. When I try to lock the doors with either method the driver door will not lock. Any ideas on howto fix where the driver door will lock will be appreciated.

Relays on the Door Control Module. You can replace them yourself or use a company that will provide a DCM with already replaced relays:

Bottom relay is LOCK next one up is UNLOCK


One company that provide repaired DCM's is:
