Default Drivers side rear power door lock failure

Strangely today my drivers side rear power door lock stopped working. Very annoying, can't unlock it electronically, and if its unlocked the rest of the car won't lock and the headlights won't go off.

Anybody have this issue? Any thoughts? I have to put it in anyways for the airbag seat rail TSB, but I was going to wait until my 40k service was due. This is too annoying to wait on since I put my briefcase and hang up my suit jacket in that seat...

I can't speak directly to the GS application, but this same scenario happened on my Acura and the power unit (basically a solenoid as I recall) on the affected door had to be replaced. Was a real pain because it messed up the alarm, other door locks, remote, etc. I feel your pain.
