Hey ya'll it's been a little while. Today, it finally happened. My car is a USA Market GranSport.

I checked several posts on here and I think I have a handle on the issue but I'm not 100% sure.
My GranSport door locks are having issues. The key fob does not work in terms of locking and unlocking. I don't think it's a problem with the FOB itself, as it works intermittently but only cycles the locks as follows:
1. locked/unlocked/locked
2. unlocked/locked/unlocked.
Unlocking the trunk works every time via button. Using the fob sometimes triggers the usual things like flashing signals and the sound of the fuel pump priming.
What have I done so far?
1. I've flipped the battery kill switch, waited, and switched it back on. No result.
2. I've played with using the key manually in both the driver and the passenger side doors. Varying results shared below.
3. I've manually used the switches and levers from inside of the car. Varying results shared below.
What I have not done and would like to do:
1. I'd like to open up my key fob and verify that the board is in good condition and potentially swap the battery. Does anyone have any instructions on how to do this? I only have one key and I don't want to break it.
Conclusion so far:
This is likely not a key FOB issue and likely a faulty lock solenoid issue. Using the FOB achieves nothing.
Using the key manually in the driver's side door is the only temporary solution as it locks/unlocks both doors. Using the key in the passenger door presents the issue. I manually unlock it, which works, but it immediately switches back to locked. While doing this, I observe the driver's side DOES NOT unlock.
While manually using the lock/unlock switch on the driver's side door, both doors lock and unlock together.
While manually using the lock/unlock switch on the passenger's side door, only the passenger door locks, but then immediately unlocks. While doing this, I observe no change on the driver's side.
My assumption here is that one of the two door locking mechanisms in faulty and needs replacing (probably a dead solenoid). Question here is which one ... and also where the hell can I obtain one? No availability on Eurospares, Ricambi, Scuderia, etc.
Here are the part numbers according to my research:
Right Hand Door Lock - 67294800
Left Hand Door Lock - 67294900
