My drivers side door lock switch will lock and unlock all the doors except for the drivers door. When I unlock the doors using the key fob it will unlock and lock all the doors except the drivers. I have to manually open the door by hand and unlock the drivers side door by key. Has anybody ever ran into this problem or know what I can do to fix it??

Thanks,
DwDrummer

sounds like the motor(or whatever does it via button) is going bad on you....the same thing is going on with my stepdads F150...but its the passenger side

only thing is...your truck is new.... :shrug:

I have heard this issue has something to do with opening the door with the keyfob when it was locked with a remote.
You can try locking all the doors and pulling the +ve battery wire for 15 minutes and then reconnecting.
I know it sounds weird but its worth the try.....

Probably the door lock actuator. Join the club....I've had 3 replaced so far, waiting for the forth one to go.

why tho? his truck is new? so they arent from being worn out.....

Nope they are from being cheap. When you install poor quality components they tend to break quickly. If you search it's a very common problem in the '07-up Tahoes.
