2008 Mustang Driver door wont unlock with unlock button, works with key alone

I have 2008 mustang , when i bought it as used car the previous owner had done some modificaton on it like remote keys. It was working fine for some time but now when i try to unlock the car usingremote it wont work on driver door and passenger door unlocks fine. I have to use key to unlock the driver door. Same if i am inside the car and tries to unlock the driver door with unlock button on the door it wont unlock on the driver side, it unlocks only passenger side. The repair shops told like no ossues on the accutator but some issues might thee on the circuit boards like that.

can you please guide me on this

I would take the drivers side door panel off and see if there are any loose wires in there.

I think you may have a problem with the Smart Junction Box "non-serviceable drivers door relay" or maybe a bad connection to the box. It might be a good idea to look at it for water damage or at least remove the connectors to it and look for bent or corroded pins. You could also have someone trigger the drivers unlock switch or remote while you wiggle the SJB connectors to see if it's a loose connection.

Wiring diagram for 05 may be the same for 08??
