1997 bmw 318i four door
the rear door on the passenger side does not unock and will not open from the inside.
The other doors unlock with the key as normal but this door lock does not trigger or release.
The door does not open from the inside either and the lock will not release when pulled up manually?
Is there a fuse or a relay of some type that could be worn out?

Central locking on the suspect door will require a replacement door solenoid. It is a tricky operation, I recommend seeking a local BMW savvy technician to accomplish the work as the door panel is going to require removal with the door closed to access the errant solenoid.
