2 Door Handles later.. still no go

Thought maybe the Ebay handle I bought wasn't good, so I ordered another brand new one from Mercedes. Well, I still can't open the door with the key in my pocket. If I unlock the rear door, then the front one is unlocked. At this point, I assume it's something inside the door? Can anyone tell me what module or connector may cause this?

Front Right Door is the affected one.

Thanks. 300 dollars later and still no working unlock.

Door lock actuator? I have a few in stock but I am fairly sure keyless go is a different lock actuator.

If I use the remote it unlocks fine. Or if I open any other door from the outside, it then unlocks. It's literally just when it's locked and I try to walk up and open it like I can with the other 3 doors.

No, I can not. Only the remote.

I had the same problem about two years ago, only suggestion I have is to make sure the little plug end from the new button is plugged in all the way?
It was the same thing for me, it effected only the drivers door?

That's what I'm thinking at this point. Looks like I'll be pulling the door panel.
