Default Power Door Lock progressive problem

2008 Chevrolet Suburban. Neither the remote keyless entry or switch on driver's door will operate selective power door locks. First the driver door lock failed, the other 3 worked fine. Weeks later, the back door behind driver lock failed, the other 2 worked fine. Yesterday, the other back door lock failed, and only the passenger door works OK. All manual buttons work fine, no abnormal resistance felt. When you hit the remote keyless entry or button on the drivers door, no clicking is heard in the failed doors.

Would appreciate ideas.

the door lock actuators are a common problem. You probably need a new one...or two.

I agree, it sounds like an actuator issue. I recommend consulting with a certified technician.

Default Door Locks?

LOL, you want something on your GM to WORK? that's cute.

my Tahoe's gone through THREE power door lock actuators under warranty...

Anyone know where the CEO of GM lives? I'd like to have a conversation with him.

On my 2007, they had to replace a small module under the dash above the parking brake.
