    Did the power locks stop working on all three doors at the same time? If so, the problem may not be the actuators.

    Check the electrical connector on the drivers door jamb and make sure there is no dirt or corrosion on the contacts. Pull the boot back from the jamb, disconnect the electrical plug underneath it, and thoroughly clean the contacts using an electrical contact cleaner. Dirt in this connector is a common source of door lock problems.
