Sounds like the door lock actuator has frozen up or jammed.You will have to remove the door panel to access it.Here is a pic of it shown below for more understanding :---------

It is no.4 in the pic,sometimes the rubber boot on top just gets tangled up in the linkage and sticks or jams it up. You can try just removing the rubber boot.just pull it off,it is probly dry rotting by now and will just fall apart when you pull it. It is to keep moisture/water out of the actuator.It will eventually go out on you but you may get another year or so out of it if this is the problem.

If the rubber boot is not causing it then check and make sure you have power to it,if so then you will need another actuator.To remove you drill the pop rivet out then remove it.
