F10 front door locks stopped working.

Both of the front door actuators on my f10 stopped working. They don’t make any noise or move with the fob or interior button.
They manually work but that’s it.
I’m having a hard time believing that both failed at the exactly the same time.

The rear locks work fine.

The 15amp fuse in the glove box was good.
Ideas on where to look next before replacing actuators?

Thanks.

I can't also believe that both of them would blow at the same time. There are several fuses anyway and they should all be replaced, even if they look ok. It's worth browsing through YouTube, there seem to be at least 5 fuses, which ones are good to check, depending on the equipment level.

Did you check already error codes via ISTA?

I checked all the corresponding fuses. They visually looked fine. No codes when I scanned with the protools app.
I’ve just been manually locking the passenger door and uses the metal key for the driver door.
I’ll check the fuses again and get a door actuator for the drivers side if that still doesn’t work. Maybe a soft close actuator.
