Default Passenger Power Lock Issues

The passenger side power locks tend not to work all the time but sometimes every rare occasion will unlock whenever I press the unlock button either on the key fob or inside the car. Anyone know what it could be?

Mine will unlock on the passenger side with the FOB but I have to lock it by hand. Never really looked into why, I just remember to manually lock it.

Mine does the exact opposite, it will lock with the fob but not unlock. Thinking it might be a gear or motor issue. Possibly wiring or a fuse.

The issue is a bad relay in the door control module.
You can either replace the relay or door control module.
There are several posts on this issue. Here is one of many links to the repair, https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...le-repair.html.

I just repaired mine. It was fairly easy. How comfortable are you with soldering and unsoldering? Do you have desoldering tools like a pump or bulb?
