hi there

not a lot to go on there info wise!
what about the reversing lights?
did they both just stop working together?
if so, i'd check the wiring up at one of the hinges for breaks.

Has it always been like this or has it suddenly stopped working? My lock motor was missing when I bought mine. The lock works with a motor that is activated upon pushing the lock button or the fob button. If I remember correctly, the topmost wire is the +12V and the lowest the ground (middle unconnected). Try give it a short pulse of power, but not directly from the battery.
