Rear door locks

[mk2008]

I have a ram 2008 1500, both rear door locks no longer respond to key fob, or door lock/unlock switch. I can manually unlock/lock both doors. Both rear door locks stopped working at the same time. This truck is mine & wife daily driver. I find it weird that both rear door actuators would go out at the same time. Does anyone know if there is a fuse/ common wire. Were should I start troubleshooting?

Sounds like a broken wire in the driver's door. Check inside the rubber wire gasket in the open area of the drivers door. Possibly one or more of the wires could be broken open.

Common cause is the wiring that goes into the door from the pillar post. Could be only 1 wire broken or it could be more. I had same problem when I first got my truck (used) and I ended up splicing a bunch of wires and putting new flexible conduit over them. No problems since. The wires break simply from the doors being opened and closed. It's not a major undertaking and you'll find lots of vids online regarding it. Good luck,
