So my key fob still works it will start the car and pop the trunk. But it will not unlock or lock the doors and when inside the car you can hear clicking from the steering column but nothing happens to the doors, and when you do you lock the doors with the button neither the passenger or the driver side button works. The two will unlock but wont lock and the fuse is still good.

Do the door locks work manually? Do you have a second fob? It sounds like the buttons are worn out since part works. Lets try a manual reboot of the system. Remove the negative battery cable and hold it to the positive battery terminal for one minute, this will discharge all capacitors and reboot the system. Let me when happens.
