Doors will not lock with remote, interior switch or when car is shifted in gear. However, I can manually lock all doors and they will all unlock using the above methods.

Check the fuse. not sure which one, but your owner's manual will have a drawing of the fuse panel with a list of what each fuse feeds.

SOURCE: remote lock for back doors and rear tail gate door

Actually I found a solution. I remove the lock relay form the fuse panel and placed it back in place. I did not replace it. After doing this they worked. I probably need to replace the relay at some point, but for now that solved the problem. It was hard for me to believe that there is a separate relay for the lock and unlock circuit.

SOURCE: 2001 Chevrolet Impala Door Locks Suddenly Quit Working

Passenger side of the fender under the hood - check the fuse relay box - about $12.00 a piece - they do go bad from time to time.
exchange the power lock relay with another one and test the locks.
then put the relay back and go to the autostore.

New battery in remote, but doors will not unlock

Do the locks work when using the interior lock buttons? If so, then you probably have to have the car dealer reprogram you remotes

Cant get my interior lights to come on when i open the door.

My 02 did the same thing, i don't know if you tried this, but turn the interior lights on with the dimmer switch, then back off. Then lock the car with the remote and hopefully when you unlock it the lights will start coming on.

Do the power door locks work when used with the switches located on the interior doors? If so, then it sounds to me like you got a problem with your key fob. Probably a dead battery in it.
