Could be the yellow/blue "lock request" wire pin and socket in the drivers door hinge pillar connector, but I would think it more likely that the linkage from the drivers door lock to the locking motor in the door is somehow worn and out of adjustment, not pushing the arm in the motor far enough to work the lock request switch.
