Default Power door Lock issues

im having problems with my power door locks, when i unlock the car with the remote the door locks would go up but my driver's side door won't open unless i manually unlock it from the key, too me it looks like one of the locks isn't going up as far its suppose to go, so any ideas??

Here's what I did on the same door:

I removed the door panel.
Disconnected the linkage.
Removed the entire lock mechanism and inspected.
Found a small circular spring had broken.
Replaced the spring.
Re-assenbled the lock and linkage.
All is well.

This prompted the repair of two other door locks; same problem. They all work now.

Capt. Ron: did you get the replacement springs from the dealer or some other source? I have one lethargic lock as well - probably the same problem.
Also noted that if the battery is not fully charged, all the locks works slower.

I got them off Ebay. I started looking for parts and ran across a guy in England selling them. I bought the five pack. You'll need needle nose pliers, small hands and patience. And a door panel puller tool, so you don't break those plastic things...

Thank you Capt. Ron! I'll look on Ebay for them.
