Default Power locks not working, motor works

When I press the switch left to unlock all 4 motors can be heard whirring, when trying to lock it, nothing happens at all.

My Key Fob also doesn't work.

Bad solder connections in the driver's side window/door lock switch are very common. There are some youtube videos about how to fix that too.

Do you hear the actuators trying to lock or unlock or do you hear a clicking that sounds like it is coming from the passenger side front door?

I hear all 4 motors in all 4 doors in that one direction but only when pushing the lock unlock button in that one direction,, otherwise it makes no sound
