Default Driver's Side Door not Unlocking, HELP!!!!!

Hi Fellow Vette Owners,
I own a 2007 MN6 Z51. I've already put over 10K on it. I've had ongoing issues with it (roof delamination, rear end chatter). My most recent is that for some reason my driver's side door won't unlock. I already brought it to Courtesy Chevrolet (San Jose, CA) and they replaced the door latch, door module (I think that's what they called it), and reset the window indexing. It was working for a couple days. Then yesterday I tried to get in the car and once again the door wouldn't unlock. I have to use the emergency cable in the trunk to get in and the emergency release to get out. I'm bringing it in again today. I think it must be some kinda of a short. I just wanna know if anyone else has experienced this? Once I do get in, I hear an intermittent clicking from behind the radio. Sounds like a relay going crazy back there. Please let me know if you've heard of such a problem. I love my car but it's starting to drive me crazy.

I'm sure you have checked this out, but have you tried the other fob? new fob battery? Other than that it sounds like a wiring issue.

Not sure if the "door module" also included the antenna, but I have read of members needing to have that changed on their C6.

I have read there are 3 of these antennas, 1 at each door and 1 in the rear for the hatch/trunk.
