Drivers door won't unlock with fob.

As title really. Its only the drivers side doesn't open inless i use the key.

Everything else works and its only started doing it.

Any ideas ?

it still unlocks when i use key though. So dont think its the locks. Must be somthing electric, some sort of module ?

Had the same problem with mine which turned out to be a broken can bus wire in the door loom. Easy to fix if not a bit time consuming.

Had the same problem with mine and it didn't recognise the drivers door had been or was open..
New lock solved it.. Glad it wasn't a module as there was non in the country at the time, and it was still under warrantee..
