Yea the only way I can get in is from the passenger side which opens just that door, so the driver side pump is bad? how much $$ what is it called

There is only one pump, but if it works from the pass side then the pump is fine. What you need is the microswitch in the lock cylinder in the drivers door. The signal isn't being sent to the pump to unlock or lock.

The passenger side opens all the doors too. Just turn the key to unlock twice.

I tried from passenger side and turned the key twice but on the one door opened
yes I can open the driver door by pulling the lever twice ( once to unlock and then to open)

also I have 3 keys and its the same with all of them
