Default Driver side door lock

The actuator works - the lock button does not - what’s the course of action for me?

So I just watched a video about the door lock relays - if the key fob and passenger door lock works on the driver door lock it would mean the relay is good - correct?

It is likely the switch at the door. Mine is doing the same thing and if you don't hit just the right spot on the switch it doesn't work. The relay should be fine if it works with the fob and passenger side switch.

So BigGun is there a way of repairing the touch pad or replacing the whole assembly is the only solution?
thanks

I haven't took it apart yet so I don't know what it looks like inside. The assembly is easy to replace but finding the right one can be tricky. You have to get one that matches the options on the car.
