Default My driver side door lock is not functioning

2005 IS 300.

My driver side door will not lock or unlock with my key and it has to be done manually. (all the other doors are fine). I have read that it is not common among LX owners but it was never mentioned for this particular model.

I am trying to find out if its the fuse or the relay in the door panel that might be the problem.

First I want to check to see if its the fuse before I check with opening the door panel and checking to see if its the solenoid/relay. So can someone tell me where I can find the fuse for this particular problem if any?

Thank you!

Probably you have a bad door lock actuator.
