Question It's those ... rear door locks!

Issue: Rear door locks do not lock or unlock with the remote. The only thing they do is go into superlock from locked or unlocked position. Then after I "unlock" with the remote I can open the door again from the inside.

I read some people have luck by spraying the lock, tried it, didn't do a thing. Do you think the actuators are bad? Or is that not the case because the superlock does activate and deactivate with the remote?

Cheers!

The superlock is seperate from the door locks.
Does it only open from the inside?

Yes and only if the superlock is not engaged (obviously...)

The don't lock either, unless I hit it twice in a row which engages superlock.

Well if the door only open from the inside then it could be a broken door spring, there is a spring that attaches to the door latch and that is what open the door, at least on a DI anyway.
Its alittle more complicated then that but that spring gets weak/breaks.
If the locks wont move on their own but you can move them by hand than I think its time for new actuators.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. The door only unlocks from the inside, but opens up from inside a well as outside once unlocked.

As far as moving the locks: I can lock it by pushing down the button, but I can not pull it up.

Sounds like it is your lock actuators.
