I have the same problem. Took it to a dealer. He charged $100 to investigate for an hour. Called back after an hour; asked for more $$ since he couldn't find out why!!!. At this stage I took my car back without fixing anything(lost $100 on this). I am surprised this car does not have a safety release from inside.
does it have a door ajar switch. if it does, may be stuck or faulty. there is no door jar switch
check main fuses under dash and hood , if you recently had a remote starter system installed there are fuses for the remote system that might have blown last the main connection for power door locks could be disconnected its on the driver side either behind the plastic panel on left or above the gas pedal
You could have a bad door switch on your drivers door
I'm going to assume that the other doors unlock just fine. There are motor assemblies with accuator rods that work the locking mechanism inside the door when the switch or remote is used. Not the manual lock button itself specific to that door. That probably works fine. Sometimes these actuator rods become unhooked or the motors themselves fail. This sounds like a faulty motor assembly. you must hit unlock twice to unlock all the vehicle doors and your vehicle has driver comfort controls your seat positions radio goes to the channel you have preselcted and the side mirrors adjust for you heres were you get the grinding noise as you press unlock on your remote look at the passenger side mirror it will be going threw a spasm over there lol not sure why maybe the motor or rods as previously stated my solution replace the whole mirror.
If the window won't go up from only one switch it is most likely that switch. If it won't go up from the driver controls or the control on that window's door, then you probably have a problem with the window motor.

Not sure which avalanche you have but I have the 03 Northface all you have to do to switch drivers is switch that remote you open the doors with.. On my friend's there was a driver one and driver two option on a button on the drivers door.
Unlock the driver door with the key or use the remote.
Both window switch on the front door will lower the window, the problem is that both switch will not raise the window back up to its close position and also the master window switch on the Driver's side will not operate all the time nor will the master door lock on the driver's side lock the passenger side door. On several ocasion the driver's side window switch lowered it's window and it would'nt raise the window back up unless after quite a few minutes playing with the window switch, opening the door, etc.
A remote light switch is a switch that triggers a light by remote. You can get one installed through your local home department store and have it rigged up to a universal remote.
I have a "kill switch" located under the dash board on the driver's side. Previously had problems when using the remote, the car wouldn't start. Used the "switch" to get it started. Hope this helps!
Sounds like a defective switch on the driver's door disconnected wires on either door or you have a lock out switch turned on... with driver door, i suggest pulling your "panel" off and verify your switch is actually connected and if it is, then replace the switch
Open the driver door, sit on the seat and leave door open. Insert key in ignition. Turn to AC (instrument lights on), and switch off. Repeat 3 times fast. Depress the spring light switch on the door panel 3 times (the cabin lights will switch on and off). Press the remote unlock button 3 times. Exit the car, close the door and try the remote. If it doesn't work try again, or check your remote battery.
You can not use a 10 switch for an 8 switch. I just had to call a lock shop for the info.
I have the same problem but I have a Yaris. Try turning the engine on and off 10 times. That's what ford does.
One can purchase a remote power switch online from Duluth Trading Company or Newegg. One can also buy a remote power switch from eBay, Focal Price, or Amazon.
I called DEI as I had the same problem. Keep the driver door ajar, unlocked. Hit the LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK rapidly.
