Check the fuse for the door locks first.
If the fuse is good, remove the door panel and check the wiring going to the lock.
Look for broken or loose wires near the hinge area.
If the wiring is fine, test the door lock actuator with a meter to see if it gets power when you press the lock switch.
If it gets power but does not move, the actuator may need to be replaced.

it is usually a dead actuator or a broken wire in the door hinge boot wiggle the rubber boot between the door and frame while hitting the lock button if it moves the wiring is cracked otherwise the latch actuator is likely toast
