'98 keyless and rear door lock problem
Here I go again! Bought this '98 and former owner didn't have the keyless fob. Furthermore, rear doors will not unlock except manually. I noticed that master door lock switch doesn't work either. I checked the childproof locks and those are not engaged What am I looking at here? Thanks for the help once more.

mystery problem solved
Today, the doors unlock! I'm still going to have the door control tested and replaced if needed. Can't find any broken wires so it has to be that. Thanks for the troubleshooting. Electrical car problems are far beyond my abilities. It's tough being a gear head with limited mechanical aptitude.
