Driver side door won't lock-unlock with remote

Have you checked the battery?,, once it starts going it seems to cause many strange electrical issues, on my old Zed the radio would come on randomly, with no key in ignition,, worth checking,,,,

I resolved the problem with my drivers side door not locking and unlocking with the key fob. I decided to have a garage do the job of replacing the door actuator which I bought on line. When the door panel was removed the mechanic found that the electric connector going to the current actuator was faulty. He replaced the connector and the current actuator worked fine and I was only charged $ 107. and I returned the actuator back for credit.

I think it is very important to make sure that the current actuator is properly connected and to also make sure that the lock cable to the actuator is connected.
