I would pull the switch and see if there is power going to it. If yes the pull the door panel and see if there is power going to the actuator. If there is no power to the switch, then you need to trace the circuit back and find the problem. Mine would work occasionally when i got my car. It was a dirty switch. I took the switch a part and cleaned it.
The rectangular silver box on to of the starter solenoid is the circuit breaker for the door locks and windows. If the widows work OK, the lock switches should have electrical power. Disconnect the door lock actuators and use a test light to make sure you have voltage at the actuators. use the door frame as ground and proble the actuator sockets while holding the switch down. Work the switch in both directions while probing each contact in the actuator socket. Each contact should cause the light to turn on while you work the switch.

Stuck with door lock actuators that don't work and don't want to pay the $50+ for a new one? Tried the junkyard ones and found that they last six months and freeze up?
A new actuator for less than $5. Fix one side for $18, do both sides for only $25. I don't sell parts, I don’t make any money off of the upgrade, I just tell you how to do it cheaply and easily.
Here’s a picture of the new actuator installed:

i got 2 actuators for real cheap maybe 10 bucks? i had one actuator out, but when i opened the door there wasnt even an actuator in there and nowhere to mount it so with a lil thought i rigged it up and screwed it to the metal part of the door on the inside of it, its held true for over a year now
