Default Rear power door locks - both failed

2007 RAM 1500
First the rear passenger side, now the rear drivers side power door locks have failed.
I am assuming the power lock unit itself has failed. Is this a common problem?

Yes, can be a common problem if you have an active group and the rear doors are used alot. Check out a few of my notes here. Hopefully this is the find you need.

jkeaton, how can you say this is not a common problem??? You may have tons of posts, but since I joined this group 10 years ago, this has come up dozens of times!! That wire bundle is prone to failure, locks, window operation, lights, speakers, etc, all go through there. Please spare your non helpful comments if you don’t know what you’re talking about!!
