Default Driver Door Wont Open

The door LATCH / UNLATCH is controlled by the " BODY CONTROL MPODULE. The 15 amp fuse controls both the passenger and driver
control locks. If you hear clicking but the door wont latch or unlatch
then the problem is most likely the " Driver unlatch pcb relay" or a loose connector around it.

however, i would think that if the fuse was blown niether door would work.
in my case its JUST the driver door from the out side

Correct about the fuse. Do you hear clicking if you try to use the open close switch on the drivers door ?

yes i hear a quiet clicking from inside the car center dash area, and the red led comes ON. (the window is down so i can open door manually)

The clicking under the dash i believe is the body control module. The click is the relay but when the relay is commanded on the current to the door latch solenoid is not passing thru the contacts of the relay.
If you had a scan tool you could read the error message. Then let me know.

Is your battery in the car almost dead? This happened to my car and the doors acted the same way.
