Doors will not lock or unlock with the door switches but will with the key fob and when you put the car in gear and unlock when you put it in park. All fuses are good. Any ideas

Locate the main ground near the body control module under the left side of the dash. There's a black wire with a white stripe. Make sure it's got a good connection to ground and that the wire isn't broken at the connector. Pop the driver door switch out and check continuity between the black with white stripe wire there. Then do the same with the passenger door. Make sure both sides also have battery power. The other possibility is both door switches have failed at the same time.

I checked the black with white strip continuity is good. I have good ground on the black/white wire and the solid black at the switch. Gray Wire at switch has power when I turn headlights on, orange wire at switch has nothing on ether switch.

The grey wires are for the interior lighting circuit.

Locate the body control module up by the parking brake pedal. Find pin B3, the orange and black wire. It should have power at all times. If it does, follow it to until you find the break. Check the fuse panels, Make sure all the fuses are good. My reference is showing both a left and a right instrument panel fuse box.

Continuity is good between the switch and bcm on the orange wire. No power at orange wire at bcm and fuses are all good.

From what I'm seeing, the BCM should supply constant power on the orange wire. Check pins A1, A3, and A4 on the BCM, all are orange wires. They should have battery power all the time.
