Default power locks won't work

Returned home from dealer oil change and my power locks won't work for any of the 4 doors....had to manually lock the doors. The fuse is good. The dealer was messing around with the battery for a test. The reason I'm wondering about the battery is because I have an aftermarket keyless entry/alarm. Any suggestions?

What year and trim level? LX or EX? Can't be DX because DX has no power locks. On my car, the power locks will lock but not unlock. Maybe we have the same problem. Let me know something, okay?

sorry, 98, lx, 4dr, auto. To put it best, the power door lock switches will not actuate any of the locks...I can only lock/unlock my doors manually.

Yeah my issue is that they'll lock but won't unlock. Might be a switch problem, relay problem, actuator, control module, or broken wire. I'm beginning to hate everything electrical in my car.

Problem was bad multiplexer, did a fuse reset procedure with a dealer technician. Good as new.
