Default Rear passenger door lock not working

Hey guys.. I am having a problem with the rear passenger side door on my GS400. When I unlock the car via remote, all doors can be opened except the passenger side rear.. It remains in the locked position.. What could the problem be? Door actuator or something else? The car has not been driven in two weeks and all was well prior. Suggestions?

Sean, if it is the door lock actuator we can do this "project" together. I previously bought 5 Mabuchi electric motors for this DIY project. My front passenger door is going as well. The motors were cheap so I'll just give it to you if you want to do this togther one day. 9/10 times it's just the little electric motor that went bad. The door panel has to be removed and the plastic cover on the actuator must be removed. Inside you will find a small electric motor, swap that out for one of mine and your all set! The motors I purchased are the EXACT replacementl; I already researched this issue to DEATH! Let me know...
