Right rear door will not lock or unlock and window does not go up or down from any of the switches. The rear hatch will not lock with any of the switches but the rear hatch switch will still lock and unlock everything except itself and right rear door. When I shut my vehicle off, normally the radio will continue to play until one of the doors are opened. But the right rear door does not shut the radio off like it has lost all communication to the vehicle. The rear hatch door will shut the radio off.

Look for a broken wire or wires in the loom between the door and the pillar, you often get a break here inside the plastic outer sleeve.

Ok, I was going to try that but I believe the door and rear hatch don't have a common wire so thought that wouldn't be the problem.

You may need to check both, broken wires are very common on doors and lift gates etc.

Ok, but don’t expect to see a wire broken in half, often the insulation is still ok and the internal wire has fractured, gently pull
On wires to look for unusual stretch, this is a good sign that the wire has fractured
