your best off finding out what is wrong first BEFORE buying parts

could be solenoids (there is a guide on how to repair them IIRC
could be the door looms, or just the driver door-shut loom  :y

My money would be on the solenoid/ motors. I have changed several.over years on various cars because of a particular door not locking / unlocking, and the fault has always been the solenoid itself. Rather than repair the faulty ones, I have just got ones from a scrapper on the proviso that when plugged in, if faulty I can return them for another or a refund. At least you can try the replacement on the door whilst apart rather resembling it all before trying.
And for a fiver, it's not worth faffing about repairing them.
