If your Kia Soul's door locks are not functioning properly, the first thing to check is the battery in the key fob. A dead battery can prevent the signal from being relayed to the vehicle to lock and unlock the doors. If pressing the button in the vehicle does not activate the doors, the next step is to inspect the fuses for any damage. A blown fuse could be causing the door lock system to malfunction. If the fuses are all in good condition, the final thing to examine are the door lock actuators themselves. If they are damaged, they may not be functioning as they should.

My son tried checking the fuses and other obvious issues, but had no success. He then disconnected the battery to reset the locks, waited for 15 minutes, and reconnected it. That solved the problem. Once I drove the car, everything was working as it should again.
