Must be your Door Lock Actuator / Locking

Check this article it seems like the problem you are having.

Replacing the door lock actuator is necessary when the lock stops properly responding to lock and unlock commands from the remote or dash mounted toggle switch. The same procedure is followed for either door; however the driver side actuator does take a bit more time to install as it has the key lock linkage to also get back in place.

Hope this help.

 

It looks like only fuse F37 is associated with the door lock: http://wds.spaghetticoder.org/en/svg/sp/SP0000017983.svg?m=r50
When you say you have to lock it manually, do you mean mechanically? Does the center console toggle switch work?
