Sounds like maybe the door lock actuators are tired in your rear doors.

That whole truck is tired at 296,000. Maybe I should look for an automotive glue factory.
The Rear Doors Open when I put the Shifter into Park. That can be deprogrammed. But that level of 'witchcraft' is beyond me for now.
I can try twisting the mirror ends. Don't wanna break it.
One YT video suggested taking the PC board apart from under the main switch bank and cleaning the contacts. Advice varies from warm soapy water, to alcohol to a brass wire brush. These objects have more in common with AV remote controls than old automotive switches.
And apparently every one breaks the tiny plastic tabs on the door panel switch interfaces. There's a guy on EBay selling digitally printed repair boxes to rebuild your plastic clips.
The OEM replacement switch cost is inferred to be about $105. I need to get the LMC catalog for this vintage. If only for the exploded diagrams and descriptive nomenclature. I don't know what stuff is called.
