Intermitent problem with remote lock dosnt unlock drivers door only when it rains....

No it was all factory. Only the small little box the so called alarm system was isntalled aftermarket. The only difference i could tell once the alarm was installed is my car goes beep beep when i lock it now with the key. Ive never seen a door lock actuator fail i only one position. Hence only locks but not unlocks. Usually just quits working and then you gota change it. Thinking about borrowing my friends power probe and see if i apply power on one side if it locks and unlocks on the other side. But i dont really feel like working on my own car when im off work. This is something that really shouldnt have a problem this car is still new.

Agreed with them not typically failing in one direction (unless there is a mechanical issue with the locking mechanism, as opposed to an issue with the actuator). Does the lock switch unlock it when the remote won't, or is the key the only thing that works?

Considering the car is new, a trip to the dealer is probably the best bet, particularly to gripe about the lack of quality of the install.
