The driver side front and rear door locks will not work with the fob or by the push button inside the door. is there a fuse or did something come disconnected somewhere?

Looked into factory settings and there is no option that would cause the problem. Took into dealership and they said the could replace both actuators for around 1000$ but were not sure if it would be repaired.

It is a common problem across many models of cars. The usual cause is failure of one or more lock actuators but this is unusual in a 2013 model vehicle that has probably not had a great deal of use. It is also unusual for 2 actuators to fault at the same time. In any event the interior door panels will need to be removed to inspect the actuators and the wiring.

If both door locks failed at exactly the same time I would seriously doubt the actuators are the cause. It is much more likely to be another issue such as a problem with the wiring to the doors on that side of the car. However it is not possible to identify the cause without removing the door panels and checking everything. (I think the dealership is basically honest when they tell you replacing the actuators may not solve the issue because until they check everything on the 2 doors with the problem they just will not know what the cause is.)

Normally there is only one fuse covering the entire central locking system and if the fuse blows you will loose power to all door locks not just 2 of them.

2003 Grand Cherokee, changed flasher relay, right side windows and door locks do not work. Driver side mirror works, right side doesn't,

turns fail. 2003.?
so did not check all fuses first then scan the OBD2 port next
ooops, why skip those?

lots they are what do they all do good and bad.?
well fuses are blown why skip step on, electrics, all fuses checked,
"changed flasher"<<, why say that. then not say turns and hazards fail too or not????? i have a real oem shop manual for this car. USA spec car is it>?
w cant guess countries of VIN to know it
chapter 8w wiring, is clear and easy to read.

8w-60 and 61 locks and windows. schematics and all
not the fuse for windows it runs both sides. F12 , 50amps.
do door locks fail using key fob??????????? any?
F12 also runs door locks but is not bad. only for 1 door.

right door inside lock controls dead?too?
you have a fob
and lots of door controls switches, it is clear which fail and do not
front and rear, both.

the door control modules on this car use COMM buse
called PCI serial bus this car
so commands from any in car button or fob must work and send commands to t the door commanded, via PCI bus.
same goes for windows ,door control modules

bad comms
or the origination command device fails, the FOB or the door buttons afail
all doors have controls do only right side fail and fob too?

try testing at all doors first
and the fob too.
off hand seems PCI bus wires damaged on the right side.

How can I figure out why my hatch, power lock buttons, and power mirrors on my 03 Chevy Blazer aren't working? And how can I repair them?

bought it like this.
so fob buttons work, but not hatch.
but lock inside locks fail (elect. buttons)
driver and shotguns side both fail, lock sw?
ext, mirrors dead.
door looks in the service manual has 5 pages of schematics, is well advised to read that first
not scanning the PCM/BCM first is never good.
oK if the speed sensor on the car fails, doors will act up. (for sure if it see car moving and is not)
the radio receiver (fob) works mostly
Fuse MIR /LKS must not be blown door buttons fail
why not check all fuses, save work and not need books to fix it if a fuse blew.?(underhood box)
IP fuse PWR/LKS not blown
the BCM runs the 3 Door lock relays
possibles
Fuse MIR /LKS blown 3amps
this kill local door power to LF and RF door swithes dead. and Rear glass to. the relay board does not fail with fobs. is the key fact.
your post is not clear on all for doors.
or LF an RF door switches. but assumed both are dead, me.
so it is just blown fuse.
we always check fuse first. a 20 cent part.

Back hatch won~t open with remote or inside door locks will open manually nothing stuck or jammed?

Found this wiring diagram for lift gate, if that is what we're talking about? Not only check the fuses, check fuse circuit for voltage. Use a testlite.

Rear driver side lock stuck in the unlocked position.

The servo motor in the door lock may have failed, broke, or disconnected. An Authorized Chevy Dealer should be able to check it.

I have a 2004 chevy Malibu would anyone happen to know Is there a way i can get Into my trunk from the inside of my car, my key stop working to the trunk and so did the trunk release button, all of my...

There is a relay in the rear fuse block for the trunk release. marked trunk relay #36. It is marked on the under side of the lid. If you knew how they worked you could open it by jumping pin 30 to pin 87 in fuse box. on the side of the relay is a diagram of what pins are what . This system uses an electronic control module called ( the BCM ) body control module .When you push the inside release button , that sends a signal to the BCM ,then the BCM activates the relay opening the trunk . Well that won't help ,you won't believe where the fuse box is ! Fuse Block - Rear
In the rear compartment, behind the left wheel well. You could jump the wire at the BCM that goes to the relay. Can't you pull down one of the rear seats to gain access ?

FOB won't work on Chevy Avalanche

Doesn't use a fuse , ues a circuit breaker . These very rarely go bad .The right rear door works ? Uses same circuit breaker as front passenger door. The power windows an locks on your vehicle are controlled by electronic control modules . FPDM - front passenger door module , I would look for a broken orange wire inside the flex boot from the body to the front right passenger door . This is power supply to the passenger door module . Do you know what wiring diagrams are ? Free here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb

Rear door on 97 bravada can't be unlocked to open

No easy way to do this - you need to remove the inside door panel from inside the truck and manually release the lock. You didn't say where the wiring was burnt, but when the door is open test for power at the lock solenoid - if not there when unlock is pressed, inspect the wiring (particularly at the two rubber wire casings connecting the door to the frame). If it is there, the lock solenoid is stuck and may have to be replaced.

2004 Civic Drivers door lock

The driver's side door lock button is designed not to lock from the inside unless the handle is pulled, or the power switch is used. This serves as a reminder to not lock your keys inside.

If you are inside, and push down on the button (not the switch) hard enough to lock it, you've probably damaged it.
