Doors not locking

Hey guys,

I bot a 2004 GS430 that has a nice Clifford alarm system with remote starter, etc. However, the alarm key is not locking the doors, nor do they lock using the OEM key? My wife also says the doors do not lok from inside the car.

Any ideas?

its possible when they were installing it they played with the wiring? or it could be the door aculators. lol
which is a common problem on our cars.

My passenger door stopped locking as well, but all my other doors lock fine. I feel like something might have unhooked or broke, anyone have an Idea on how to fix this?

thanks guys. After checking it out more thoroughly for myself, I found that the RR door does lock for a moment and then unlocks on it's own, so it is going bad while the other other actuators are already bad. Hopefully, the DIY in this form will guide me through replacement and not be a real P.I.T.A, but most things are!
