Lock problems!
Tried all the usual fixes! Cleaned and replaced the door release! Door doesn’t want to open, at least most of the time after repeated attempts! When I leave the window open and reach in and unlock from the inside, door opens immediately from the outside! The little red light comes on when you unlock with the remote but doesn’t want to open unless you reach in and manually push the inside unlock button! Thanks for any ideas!

Sounds like your FOB battery needs replacing. That's how my 11GS acts when the FOB battery hits 3 volts.
Just to elaborate . . . when my FOB battery starts to get low, the first symptom I see is intermittent doors. The car still starts fine and all, it's just the driver door first. Passenger door & trunk open fine. The door will open usually on the 3rd try. Anyway, change my FOB battery and everything works perfect again.
