If the the key is used , can you unlock all the door including the drivers door?
If no, then the actuator may not be working. Two cases here: 1 the plug came off, (easy fix - its the only connection that is easy to reach) 2 the actuator is toast. Well maybe not, but you will have to takle it out to prove it.
Actually, I can now take the locks out in about 15 minutes. Took about 40 minutes first time.
Another thought just came to me. when you are in the car with the door closed, can you loack all the doors by pushing the knob down? If no, that's another good indication that the plug is off.
Another thing that you may want to do is reseat the relay module and general module. They are both under that backseat. you could also open the relay module and look at the back of the relays for bad solder connections. Someone posted a very good URL with pics of exactly what to look for (fix my headlight with the info this weekend)
Anyway, its actually not all that tough, just work systematically.

...is by using the lock's pull knob on the inside.The electrical works on all locks but the driver's door.Using the key in the driver's door locks/unlocks everything but the driver door.
Out of sync?Bad connection? What are the most common problems/fixes for these or simillar symptoms?
I am not that frustrated or impatient, yet, if it comes to it I will wait for warmer weather or some garage time at my in-laws.BTW, this started happening when the cold hit. Maybe something broke from the cold.
