Default weird door locking issue

if i use the keyless my doors will lock... but then when i come back and try to unlock the drivers door will not unlock... if i hit the unlock button on drivers side from inside.. it will unlock... weird part is.. if i immediately use keyless to lock the doors again.. the drivers door look will respond to the keyless properly... however if i lock it for a few mins.. it again is the only lock that wont unlock.... it seems isolated to the drivers side right now...

Any help greatly appreciated... ive been reading about the accuator replacement but im not convinced that it what is wrong with mine..

Cheers

For strange problems, I suggest removing the battery terminal or 20 mins or so. You will loose the seat and radio settings.

Does this only happen on the hottest days?

No it happens all the time....I've found a few other things. So just to be clear on my issues....


All doors respond to the lock function on keyless remote, if I immediately press unlock, all respond as normal.... If I wait a few mins before trying the unlock, all doors except drivers doors respond...

Also if I put keys into driver door, and hold either lock or unlock, all windows respond by going up or down except the drivers door...

If I have keys in ignition and car is on, all windows go up and down, however if I have car turned off, all windows work except drivers... Seems the aux power isn't working on that door, but yet lock function always works on keyless...
