Lightbulb only Door lock wont work

I have a 97 dodge ram 1500 with automatic door locks. recently only the unlock button stopped working but the doors will unlock. the doors wont lock on using either passenger or driver side switch. I'm already sure its a electrical issue but any help/advice on the matter?

When I first purchased my truck used, I had to replace the electric door lock mechanisms on both sides. Once the door panel is removed, they were pretty easy to replace. The door and window switches are pretty tough on the '94 - '97 model year Ram trucks.

The gears strip… I replaced mine quite a while ago.

I vaguely remember there being a tutorial about rebuilding them, but have no idea where.
