Unhappy Automatic Door Locks Don't Work

I just bought a used 2001 Expedition and here one day after purchasing it none of the door locks work. It does not matter if you use the alarm button or the lock / unlock buttons on any of the door rest. What I did find is if you push the lock button and then the unlock button quickly back and forth respectively they will either lock or unlock. Any ideas as to where to start to resolve this issue?

Welcome crazy4wake! You pose a good question, hopefully others can drop by and help. I don't know whether the switch is connected directly to the actuators but it seems that the rapid lock/unlock pressing is heliping the 'controller' (if there is one) recognize a desire to lock/unlock and is sending a signal to the actuator.
