Have you checked the cable coming in from the door post for a breakage ? Or the lock solenoid may be failing
In cars with central locking, or remote locking, a solenoid is fitted to the locking mechanism. When the remote button is pressed (usually on the key) a signal is sent to the central locking control system. The received signal closes an electronic gate in the controller and current from the cars battery is switched to the solenoid on the lock. The force generated locks or unlocks the door as required.

Does the door lock work with the key? If so - activate the automatic doorlock switch. If the doorlock doesn't 'click' then it is probably the electrical solenoid that powers the doorlock. If all the other electric doorlocks work it is probably NOT the fuse. The solenoid could be burned out, or the wires may have come loose, or shorted. If the key doesn't work, but the solenoid 'clicks:' then it is probable that the latch has become detached from the locking mechanism contained within the door. Either way you will probably have to remove the interior door panel to gain access to the locking meachnism to work on it.

The door release is operated by a small motor which is probably damaged. you can check this by removing it and while still connected to its cable operate the central locking system. You can move the mechanism in to the release position where it will remain unlocked all the time or you can replace the electric release to restore function.
