2000 Concorde LXi - Rear doors won't unlock

I have another issue...
My rear electric doors will lock when pressing the auto lock button but make a really loud sound.
However, when I hit the automatic unlock button on the drivers side door or on my keychain the rear door locks make the same really loud noise but will not unlock, so I am having to reach around and manually unlock the doors. The manual lock on the door looks like it is trying to go up when i hit the automatic unlock, but it does not go up all the way unlocking the doors.

What would cause this to happen, and how do i fix this?

Thanks

Looks like im hitting up the salvage yard this weekend.
