Rear Door Not Locking.
I have tried to look this issue up and there are some that have the same issue as me up there is still a way for them to lock the door. The issue I have is my rear doors will intermittenly not lock, when I use the key fob/remote only the front two lock and unlock. The same goes for when I use the driver door controls. I say they are intermittent because there are times where everything works fine, and then there are times where only the rear passenger fails to lock or the door behind the driver doesnt lock or unlock, but then there are times where both dont lock and unlock. When I go around and lock them they do not unlock unless i manually unlock them from inside. I dealt with it thinkning it was a bad battery or a dying battery on my remote. I changed both and yet the problem consists and it seems like they are both not working instead of one now. It also tends to work better in cooler weather, like early morning and late night it is fine, yet mid day it acts up. I live in SoCal so its hot almost all the time so RIP me. I checked all the fuses and they are all in tact and nothing seems wrong. I hope its not both actuators gone bad or something that I have to take to the dealer to reporgram.

you don't need to program actuators.. It sounds like the actuators to me..

get a new actuator and it's solved! Install on the rears do not require window removal!

so is the part supposed to be 15/26 or 14/25
15/26 says it’s the actuator and is around $120
but 14/25 says it is the lock assembly and includes the actuator and is around $50
I am confused on which is correct, I was under the assumption Actuators are like $30

Yeah that image is confusing and leads you to believe that doesn't it.. 
I don't think that's accurate though..
also, what led you to the assumption that actuators were that cheap? .
If you don't want to buy new, you can always try finding it at a junkyard? 
or Ebay used.

When I was looking to see if it was actuators or if was a fuse or some other electrical issue, and some people were saying they were cheap, I guess they meant the fronts.
