Power Lock problem

Right now the power locks on my car do not work, the locks work and lock and unlock turning the key but the whole system wont work (unlock all the doors when key is turned). I checked the fuses and they look allright, so does anyone have any suggestions for what it is and how I should fix it.

Thanks
