	I suggest:
	Take a look at the connectors for the actuators in the doors.
They can get corroded and the pump does not get a signal when you turn
the key or pull the little "tab" on the inside. If you simply can't
unlock/lock at all, the little lever on the back of the lock cylinder is
broken and has to be replaced (together with the cylinder) for a new one
(in stamped steel instead of aluminium). About $ 10.00 USD.
