Car wont unlock

I have read on here about the issue but only a few threads and none confirm my issue unless I missed a thread somewhere.

My issue- I use the key fob or the key in the door and every so often the door plunger doesn't come up all the way and sounds like its struggling. I try and lock and unlock it again and sometimes that works or the key in the door works. It hasn't happened in awhile but today it took 5 min to get the door unlocked and don't want to risk not being able to get in at all. When this happens, the passenger door plunger doesn't come up at all and that door has no tumbler to even try a key in.

My thoughts are the Bowden cable getting stuck, the actuator or the GM5 Module.

Id like to think/hope its not the GM5 since the door is getting a signal to unlock, but I also don't know much about them.

When out of work I plan on taking to panel off and looking around. If anyone has any suggestions or solutions that would be great. Don't want to get locked out of my own car not being able to get back in when out in the city.

Thank you
