The inside switches don't work either.

You should reply to the same thread to continue with your question. Posting a new question is getting you nowhere.

Have the door lock actuators been checked/tested and found to be faulty? There are plenty of aftermarket actuators that can be purchased for a few bucks and modified to be installed. I believe it is a control rather than faulty actuators because it is unlike that all four actuators would fail at the same time, unless they had failed one by one.

It's a coupe so it's only 2 doors, and yes, they failed one at a time. They actually worked intermittenly for a bit but gave up altogether shortly after.

You would have to remove the door panel to test the actuators. TO be cost effective, after market actuators would be the answer. You might be able to source used actuators from the junk yard.
