Check to see if the locking control unit is getting 12V+ power (red/black wire). For some reason this red/black feed wire goes into the drivers door through a pin in the door plug and socket, then back out again through another pin. These pins are prone to corrosion, and has been the cause of total locking failure on most of the ones I've sorted out.
If you find the supply is missing, cut both red/black wires off of the door pillar socket and join them together. The supply isn't used for anything inside the door.
