Sounds like the door-lock module.  Its located in the door itself (in each door).

I have a fault where my rear door will not unlock remotely, and also none of interior lights come on when any door is opened, or the car is switched off.

Will see if I can dig out a guide of how to fix it (its a re-solder job).

You might find the following of use:

It does look like a mission, hence my rear driverside door no longer unlocks with the remote.  I just live with it, the lights not working is a bit of a pain too - but again, the task puts me off fixing it. 

Might just give in one day and let the local garage sort it.
