Drivers Side not Unlocking

I have a 2005 TL and the Drivers Side door does not lock or unlock with the button on the door or the remote; the other 3 doors work fine.

What do you suggest I do to get this resolved?

Thank you,

Shane

It’s the door lock actuator; I had the same problem before. I think its like 40 bucks at Acura.

Ok, thank you. Fairly easy to replace?
Anywhere online with a step by step?

Thank you again,

Shane

ok for me it was easy! but do you know them 2 phillip head screws are where the door latch is at. the actuator is behind it. you going to have to take the whole window out, and a few pins. it should not be hard. I just winged it.

Thanks for the help.

Acura said the part is $25, labor is $190.

Try it myself?

Strange, how many miles are on your car?

I have 68,000.
