Default 2008 Equinox door locking problems

My 2008 equinox has problems locking and unlocking doors with the fob. The front passenger and rear driver do not respond to the fob. Now the drivers side isn’t working either. A friend thought it might be the solenoids but I don’t understand how some are bad and some good. Any ideas on this issue?

Do all the locks work if you push the lock switch on one of the front doors?

Default Same...

I have never seen symptoms like this in reference to the fading of all four actuators when the switch is activated more than once. Please help or maybe someone at Chevrolet could chime in with a solution.
You are the first person to describe exactly what is happening to my vehicle. My 08 Equinox does the same thing, and changing relays/actuators/checking wires seems pointless since the problem has to be upstream from all 4 doors. I thought the only thing it could be is the BCM. Someone else suggested checking the grounding at the BCM which I will probably do. But it honestly seems as though a some kind of component (capacitor?) loses the power it has on the first press of the button and it takes a while to charge back. Pressing repeatedly just doesn't allow for the time for it to charge back up. I'm spitballing here but it would be nice to hear something from a professional that actually wants to help instead of asking for us to message them directly. I was raised to be a Chevy guy, but experience has turned me into a Toyota guy.

I have the same problem with my 2008 Equinox. Seems to happen when the weather is 25 C or warmer. And considering how the problem manifests itself, I would concur that a capacitor needs replacing.

As well, does anyone have problems with their rear window wiper not working? I'm at my wit's end trying to solve this problem.
