Default C7 driver door open buttons not working

Hello all, like a few here my driver door open buttons stopped working. Both inside and outside buttons do nothing. Passenger buttons work perfectly. In my troubleshooting I swapped outside buttons with passenger door and the driver door button worked like normal on the passenger side. This led me to believe it was the actuator and latch mechanism, so I bought one off ebay and replaced mine. That did not work either.

Any ideas?
  • Battery is fully charged
  • Key fob battery is good and close to vehicle
  • Doesnt work with car running or not
  • I disconnected neg battery and still nothing
  • Inside button is not stuck
  • Obd scanner shows no codes
  • The inside emergency latch works properly

Please help!

Unlikely that both interior and exterior switches go bad at the same time and you have already confirmed ext switch good and latch is new. I would check continuity on 2 wires between keyless module (in trunk) and driver's latch, one wire will be violet with blue stripe and the other one is solid grey
