Question
The powerlocks on our minivan are posessed.  If I use the remote, it will unlock all the doors except the rear.  If I push the lock button on the two front doors, nothing happens to any door.  So, bottom line is the two front and one side locks work with remote but not the power button on doors and the rear lock will not open with anything......Creating a huge problem on my shopping trips.. I tried replacing the fuses on the inside fuse box for accessories. and nothing changed.  Cant think of anything else

Answer
Hi Julie, The problem could be just the two lock switches and the rear door lock actuator.  So if you replace the rear door actuator they will all work with the remote. If you replace the lock switches they should all work with the lock switches as long as you replace the actuator for the rear door.

Have a Great Day
