in most cases if a problem likes this involves inconsistency its electrical, if something stops working forever, usually mechanical. however this can be wrong, thats usually the way things work.

It sounds like your lock actuator for that door is broken, i am having the same problem with mine, i belive you take the door panel off and replace that one and you should be ok

is there a tutorial on removing the panel......or is it simple like 2 or 3 screws? thanks
