Let‘s get back to the basics (cue the Waylon & Willie!)
First, what you have observed with the operation of the locking knob on the door is correct, you cannot unlock the truck by lifting up on what little of the knob is visible
1: when you use either the fob or the dash switch, do you find power applied to the connector to the door lock actuator?
2: do NOT replace the actuator until you have confirmed presence absence of power to the door lock actuator!
3: you state that the “driver’s” door doesn’t respond. Do the other locks work as intended?
4: believe it or not, it is quite possible that your “Intelligent Driver Module” (a curious name for a fuse box) is the culprit
To answer your question directly, yes, I have encountered this condition 😉🤪😜😂
