Welcome to the board.

We will need more info to try and help you. Year and model is a start. Is it just one door not working or all of the doors.

Default Lock

The vehicle in question is a '93 SL2, four door. The drivers and passenger doors are non-responsive.

do they not respond to the unlock button on both front doors, or only on one door?

Default Doors

Robert, we were just in Middletown,OH. My wife gave the car to her brother and he's got some trouble with it. I was over there X-Mas, but DAMN was it cold. I live in FLA, so you can understand how hard it would be to stay focused.
The drivers door doesn't respond on both the inside and out. The passenger side doesn't work on the inside.

Default Door Locks and Little Kings

Well, guys from Ohio. What the $%#*^& happened to Little Kings Beer?
And, what about the door locks? I have all older cars i.e. 64's, '66's and the computer chip controller stuff is alittle out of my league.
The fuses are changed. So, is it somewhere else?
Come on..Help a UNION Brother out...Dino

lol, I am kinda lost on this one. Unless some the connecting rods came loose on both doors and the lock itself is broken in the door which doesnt work from the outside either. I am baffled. I will try to dig up mor einfo, or some diagrams for you. Anyone else have an idear?

Default Shop Manual

Okay, cut me some slack because I haven't any technical paperwork.
Power from the battery. Does it go to a circuit board or relays? Then, it must travel to the fuses. When the switches are pushed to lock or unlock
it must then actuate some sort of mechanism that trips the lock.
So, in the scheme of things. Is there a one spot brain to check for power or is this a systamatic walkdown with a meter?
How about this. Where on the car does it receive the signal from the remote?

There is a fusebox under the hood and one for the driver's side kick panel and the passenger side kick panel. Check 'em.

You could have shot silinoids.

Most likely cause (hopeful): broken switches.
