Hi there! Most likely your door lock actuators have gone bad. Inspect, the system by pressing the lock\unlock switch, watch the locks and see if there is any movement, like they are trying to lock\unlock. If you do in fact see movement, that is a good sign that the actuators are bad and will need to be replaced. If there is no movement from any of the locks then there could be a bad\loose connector in your wire harness and\or a bad relay, which will need to be replaced. If you would, consider YourMechanic, and a certified technician will come to you and perform all necessary tests and repair your issue. Thank you!
