hermann, i have a similar problem from time to time. my power locks work on the passenger side and the sliding door, but not on the driver's side or the rear hatch. except that, occasionally (especially when i am carrying something heavy and it is raining) i will try to unlock the hatch and nothing will work. so i leave the key in the 12-6 position (rather than the 9-3) and operate the p-locks on the pside/slider. then i try again. if nothing, i do the p-locks again. usually that works for me. i know it's a contact, motor, or wire issue, but it happens infrequently enough to be low priority on the work list... best, bill
