Default drivers side auto lock

Good morning and Happy New Year to all,

My c5 2001 drivers side door lock does not open with either the key farb or lock on the door, however the passenger side does?
What can I check ?

Thank you

Sargedel

I had this issue with the driver's door lock. However using the key in the lock would work but not the remote. Passenger door was OK. Replacing the relays inside the door on the relay board fixed it. About $50.00. GOOD LUCK!

agree - it sounds like a power issue to the actuator. that's why you have a key hole in the door until you get this fixed (which i exclusively use anyway).
