    Remote unlocks the other three doors but I need to jump in an open drivers door from inside

    Does not happen every time but has happened several times

    I look like an idiot climbing in from the back seat. Hoping this is some simple

    Any advice would be appreciated

    If you can unlock the door with the mechanical key located on the keyfob then the lock cylinder and linkage is working OK. If the mechanical part is working OK then it sounds like your electric actuator may be failing.
