Default Door Locks and FOB not working

I have a 2001 Dodge Durango that I bought knowing the electric locks did not work. I would like to get them working. I am able to lock and unlock all the doors and liftgate by using the key at either of the front doors. However, the FOB and internal lock buttons do not work on any of the doors. The locks do automatically engage at 15 mph.

Since the locks engage automatically, and the key can be used to lock/unlock the doors I am assuming the mechanical functions are fine and there is something wrong with the electronics. Windows controls work fine. Only have the problem with the door locks (and at all 4 doors).

Any help would be appreciated.

ill move this to the first generation section for you (noone except me checks this area)

it sounds to me like the switches arent working right, i would venture a guess that ist the drivers door switch panel that is gone out.

Thanks for moving this for me. Would the Driver's panel affect the operation of the other three door switches as well?

It does for the windows, but not sure about the locks. Are the little lights on in the switches? Did the previous owner say if both the switches and the remotes stopped working at the same time?

Yes the lights in the switches are illuminated. And I don't know if the switches and FOB stopped working at the same time.
