Door won't unlock

[996GT2]

03 Accord. I noticed this morning that my driver's door power lock will only lock, but not unlock. If I manually unlock the door, I am able to lock it with the button in the key fob. But it won't unlock with the key fob alone. The other door locks all work fine. Does anyone know how to reset the system, or do I need a new lock actuator?

if all the other doors work fine it's unlikely to be an issue that can be solved with a reset.

The relay motor for the driver-side front door failed, making remote entry inoperable. Repair is costly: ~$40 part + $200 labor). Service writer at dealership says this is a common problem. Most opt to just live without remote entry (i.e., use a key).

so your diagnosis appears correct.

Strange. Came back to the car a few hours later and everything is working perfectly fine. Must have been a fluke.
