My door lock gets stuck in my 2011 ram 1500 and I can not unlock it. Even the key does not work from outside. Can any one help me?

Tried spraying some lubricant into the key hole? Do you have an FOB and does that work? Can you unlock from the inside ?

I do have a fob and no it does not work on the driver's door. It does work on the other three. And no I can not pull the lock up from the inside either.

Sounds like your actuator has failed. Either that or the linkage.

You will need to pull the door panel off and inspect the locking mechanism.
