Hi everyone, after 15 years my driver's side power door lock no longer works, but the passenger side power door lock still works. It's a minor, yet annoying problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I checked the fuses under the dash and everything looks okay. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Pull the door panel and put a test light across the electrical connector to the actuator. If it illuminates while depressing the lock and unlock button, the actuator is probably bad.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

It's probably the actuator. The really annoying part is that if you don't fix it, it can eventually bind up the locks all together.
