Hello Everyone,
My problem is that all of my door locks have stopped operating all at once. Formally, I could lock all doors from driver side door panel, using the key fob, or by putting the vehicle in gear and proceeding to drive. I was also able to unlock the doors using the key fob, or by entering the code into the keypad on the driver's door. Now, when I use the key fob, the interior light still comes on, the electric seat settings operate, but none of the doors will unlock regardless as to how many times I press the button. I am still able to set my alarm using the key fob, but again the door locks will not operate. I have deduced that the key fob is working properly; The key pad on the driver's door is operating properly as when I begin to input my code, the interior lights come on. I would assume that each door has an actuator, but it is unlikely that all four would malfunction at the exact same time. This leads me to believe that there may be a relay that sends a signal to the locks that has gone bad. If this is the case, I would greatly appreciate assistance from the forum members in locating this relay (if there is one), or pointing me in the right direction. I also viewed a fuse diagram online but I could not determine if a fuse might be the problem.
Thanks so much

It would be near impossible for each lock actuator to fail so discard that. The common denominator is the relay probably dedicated for just the locks. Could be inexpensive and also could be hidden somewhere - not sure where they put it with any software available to me. Owner's manual may give some help. You can test a relay off car but if you don't mind taking the chance and a couple bucks I'd toss it. It could test fine but not enough power gets thru it,

It's a 30amp fuse in the engine compartment box

That makes sense as that shows two relays and both would be very unusual. Easy to check that fuse. It might even say what position under a plastic cover for those - some do,

Thank you very much for your help. This is exactly what the problem was. A 30amp fuse in the fuse box in the engine compartment.
Have a good day

Something caused that fuse to blow in the first place so you may not be finished yet.

True. Keep a spare aboard for now. Whatever short of someone playing constantly with locks there's something drawing too much current for it. No doubt hard to find until it happens instantly with a new fuse,
