Default Driver's Door will not lock?

My driver's door no longer locks by either the door handle sensor or the key FOB. When I try to lock the car, all the other doors lock except the driver's door (and side mirrors fold in as it should). I can see the driver's door lock inside trying to move and I do hear the motor, but it doesn't lock itself. I have to manually lock it before closing the door. It UNlocks with no issues with door handle or key FOB.

Is there a setting I am missing in the menu somewhere that may have reset itself? Just wanted to make sure before I take it into the dealer.

2014 F-Sport if that helps.

Sounds like the door lock solenoid position needs adjusting... It should be an easy adjustment.

I just replaced the solenoid in my driver door last summer. Sounds like the same issue I had.

If you can adjust the position it may buy you sometime before you will have to replace it.
It sounds like it has burned the starting point on the motor comm. it is just is a wear issue.
Check the price as opening up the door panel you may want to just replace it now. It is going to completely fail soon.
Good Luck

Car is still under warranty, so I'll just have the dealer look at it and do what they need to do. Just checking to make sure I wasn't missing a setting. Thanks!
