Passenger door lock does not unlock from key fob.

Hey everyone! I am having a problem with my passenger door lock. Door does not unlock from the key fob or when I press lock/unlock on drivers side or when I press the lock unlock switch on the passenger door. It only locks when I pull the lock up/down or when I manually unlock using the key outside. Is this an actuator problem? Any DIY for installing actuator? Thanks for taking the time to look and I wish you all a wonderful day!

Upon doing more research, I am pretty sure it is the actuator. I wasn't able to find a DIY for the acura cl, can anyone point me to the right direction?? Thanks!

You probably tried this already but Do you press the button twice to unlock? I know mine has to be pressed twice to unlock it.

I tried it, seems to be no reaction from the door lock.

Just take your time and keep all the clips/bolts etc. in a bowl so you won't lose one!
