Hi i have an 05 mustang.
Doors lock no problem with the fob.
1press nothin. Second press unlocks passenger door.

There is a thread here: https://stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/drivers-door-wont-unlock-with-fob.917911/

But no help.

Have you tried reprogramming the FOB?

If not, try this:

Remove the driver side door panel and locate the door actuator.

Use a volt meter to measure for 12 volts with the key [on] and the door unlock switch held in the [unlock] position (you may need a friend).

Report back if you get 12 volts at the actuator. If so, change the actuator.
