Answer
Hi Manu,

actually, many LR owners have problems with their door locks.  In your case it could be the CDL that is not unlocking that particular door.  Its also possible that the latch itself is jamming - perhaps due to dirt, grime, water, ... a number of reasons.  I'd check the latch multiplug harness on that door to see if there is any electrical short present.  LR harness are notorious for failing due to water corroding the contacts...especially with the doors.

Best of luck,
