Hello and thanks for the donation

This is fairly common on your model of vehicle. There is a barrel between the door and frame, where the wires run through, there is a bolt on top of the barrel. Loosen the bolt. The bottom part of the barrel will pull out eventually. (The bottom part is an electric conector) Pull down the rubber sleeve on the bottom part, and there you should see a broken wire, pink/green for unlock and pink/yellow for lock. If the wiring is broke, splice the broken wires together. Reattach the bottom part to the top and test operation.

No wires are broken that I see. Is there something else it could be?

Is it only the driver's switch that is not operating the locks properly? Do the individual switches for the passengers lock and unlock properly?

Ok, you will need to test the door lock relay. It is located in auxiliary relay box #2, above left rear wheelwell.

My driver's door and hatch locks don't stay locked, you can pull up the outside handle and they unlock but both back doors and passengers' doors stay locked. I've replaced the switch and actuators but still the same issue.
