Here s a simple solution.
If this happens the problem is with the remote.

Locks work from the switch but not the remote.
The battery is likely dead and needs to be replaced but the remote s may also need to be reprogrammed to work.
All that has happened is a very small spring has broken or fallen out.
My actuator seemed to be making a little effort when called to do so via fob.

The door lock works in only one direction.
