1998 passat passenger side front and rear doors are electric locked closed, solenoids work but will not unlock doors, inside & outside handles do nothing.
SOURCE: rear door wont unlock
this is not the dead lock? if i am right in thinkin that this is a centrally locked car then the sensor in the door isd set too low mybe slipped as only has to be out a little to cause this, more of an antitheft system than a dead lock.

Take it off the door handle side of the cable, not the latch side.

I had a similar problem with my son's 1998 Jetta K2 4 door. I sprayed loads of WD40 into the locking area from the end of the door through the clip slot, worked the mechanism sprayed some more and finally it start working. My mechanic said these are very prone to moisture causing rusting on the moving parts.
