Help!

I have a 1998 Chimaera with the door release buttons under the mirrors.

For some reason,when pressed,the doors are not opening,no solenoid clicking,nothing.
The only noise is coming from the two yellow relays under the dash,ive checked all connections,cleaned the pin switches on the bottom of the doors,checked all fuses,everything i can think to check!

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?

Cheers.

Mine was fixed by wiggling the solenoids, but that was on one side only. Silly question really, but your battery has charge, right?

Yes it's fully charged.
The keyfob locks and unlocks the car but its the buttons under the mirrors that are failing to do anything.

Faulty solenoid on the latch mechanism.
