2008 e350 power door locks don't work?

Hello everyoneI have a 2008 ford e350 and the drivers side door and side door the manual locks tumblers are frozen and can't get them to turn with manual key. Also the main problem is my inside power door locks no longer work with the switch? And the rear blower switch for the heater I'd also not working? Any suggestions on how to go about troubleshooting it and fixing it? Thanks any help is appreciated!

Pull the door panel off and disconnect the linkage from the lock cylinder
Chances are the lock actuator is the frozen part and not the lock cylinder
Plan on replacing both lock actuators on the door latches
A test light on the rear blower motor while you use the switch
There is also switch diagnosis in the service manual and the EVTM for your van
Probably just needs a new switch or a rear blower motor
The test lamp will help you determine which part has failed, or if a fuse is blown
Good luck
