Wayne,

You said:
"When unlocking on the passenger side, I don't hear any
corresponding click on the driver side".

You probably have a weak or defective solenoid in the drivers door. Prior to
replacement you may want to do a voltage check at the solenoid electrical
connection to isolate the problem to the solenoid.
