Power Door Locks Wont Unlock

I had a problem awhile back of the driver side lock not locking when i pushed the button, and I just had to replace the little plastic switch because it was broken and wasnt pushing down all the way. For awhile my passenger side hasn't been unlocking the doors when the button was pushed, but the switch is in good condition. Now both doors will lock fine, but neither will unlock, any suggestions on how to fix this? Its annoying not being able to unlock the other door.
Thanks
Bill

Via my 93 service manual, if a function like lock or unlock quits, possible cause is a faulty switch. I was having the same problem with one of my T/A's, and it was a bad switch on the driver side.

When I had the problem with mine, it was the switch in the opposite side door of all things.

Problem solved. I went out the next day it it all works fine again, maybe it was messed up because when the car was locked orginally i used the remote sensor and opened the passenger door and then tried using the lock from the driver door....but everythign works good now, so good times!
Thanks anyways,
Bill

The door locks are wired in such a way that if one of the switches goes out, neither will work, thinks of it like a 2-way switch, when one leg is off the other is on, then when the one that is on goes off, the one that is off goes on... So I would just spend the money and replace both switches at the same time...
