Door locks not working

Power door lock problems it started with the rear drivers side door not unlocking then the passenger rear door not unlocking then a few weeks later the passenger front door not unlocking. They won’t unlock with either the remote key unlock button or the unlock button on the doors. The doors will lock correctly. I find it hard to believe the lock actuators in three doors went bad. Any ideas where to start? Thank you Bryan

Hello,

It looks like you have a BCM that is going out because it controls all of the doors but to be sure lets check the fuses that run the system.

If the fuses are good then you will need to get the new BCM programmed by a shop. Here is the BCM location and the fuse panel diagrams. Check out the diagrams (Below) Please run this test and get back to us.

I just replaced the power door lock actuator and it still
does not work. All of the other ones work. Just the rear passenger
one does not work.

The door lock button on my drivers side door does not work. The key fob locks the door, and the door locks when I put the car in gear. What might be wrong with the button on the door and is there a way to fix it myself?

They have plastic clips that hold them to the door lock connection. Alot of times those clips break and the linkage doesn't work any longer. You need to remove the door panel to get the clip to fix it. The clip costs about a quarter.
