Default drivers door lock

The drivers door button does not open on the remote yet it locks. Is this an easy job to do, I can't find a how to ?

Yeah, you want a new actuator I think. It was one of the earliest jobs I did on mine. From memory: door card off, unplug, couple of torx bolts hold it on from the door jamb side, fit the new one with the usual swearing when you can't quite get it in place. Putting the door card back on is the most infuriating part of the job and enough to drive anyone crazy.

Don't forget to be very very gentle when removing the metal rod from the nylon clip, if you pull this rod from the exterior door handle then you are in for a whole load of heartache.

Hi, You need a new door lock, as the actuator motor for unlocking the door is either burned out or worn out. The locks are handed, so make sure you get the right one. This is a very common problem, and it almost always affects the same motor.
There is a how-to so please do a search, careful removing the card you don't damage it, again there is a how-to to this too so search it out.
Take your time and study the situation carefully to get your bearings and it will be fine.

You need two types of door clip when refitting. The fir tree clip on the top right is not meant to come out and will probably break. You may also break some of the others.
