Two things to look at, the central locking module hidden behind the speaker in the drivers footwell, & the connetion from door pillar to door on the drivers side.

Start with the C/L unit...

its probably this resistor at fault...

hi again, checked the resistor, it looks fine! could it be the whole relay thats faulty or more likely something else?

Here goes again! Remove the drivers footwell speaker and find two red/black wires going to two seperate pins of the drivers door socket. Cut both of these away from the socket and join them together properly.
