Could be wrong on this... but I know the unlock is actuator/solenoid
based - nothing unlike a reguar power door lock... the popper is
probably a solenoid-plundger dealy - similar to what aftermarket uses on
trucks/cars with shaved door handles.

Assuming thats all correct - you either have a dead motor... bad wires,
blown fuse, or depending on what kind of regulator/linkage it uses... a
problem with that system. I'm sure others here can shed more light onto
this - as I have no personal experiance with power sliding doors...

This is why I like manual locks, manual windows, manual everything.
Less stuff to break!!!!
