My back doors will not unlock! They were working just fine up until this point. They're making a sound like there working but they do not raise. Tried with both keyless entry and interior control. Is this retaliated to a power loss. Everything else is operating.

You need to check to see if there is 12v to the actuator. It sounds like there has been a loss of power.

If the belt is making noise, make sure to also check the tensionier. As far as problems, as long as the alt/batt light isn't coming on, the belt shouldn't affect this area.
