What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Have the unlock command and circuit checked at both switches and the affected doors using the matching wiring diagram. Include a mechanical linkage inspection.

My guess would still be the switch. They can work one way and be bad going the other way

Discussion summary

1997 Bonneville Se Doors Locks Problem !

The owner of a 1997 Bonneville reported that both door switches could lock the doors but neither could unlock them. Replies suggested switches or disconnected or binding lock rods.

Reported outcome: No failed component or repair was confirmed.

The same symptom at both switches does not establish that both switches failed. No circuit measurements were supplied.
