The locks have an electrical wire connected to them, check the driver/pass door to see if it's loose or disconnected. This happened to mine not too long ago.

Plenty of past threads on key cylinder issues...one of those might have the info needed. If the key cylinder design is like the 95-97, it will only take so many keyed openings and closings before the electrical contacts will have worn down and need replacement. Can cause a varitey of symptoms but also check the trunk lid wiring.
