remote control can't work for two doors

[Aduli]

I bought a 2004 corolla LE, but it seems the remote control (lock/unlock) only works for the driver-side door and the right-rear passenger door, not for the other two doors (for front passenger and left-rear passenger doors).
Also, the inside lock/unlock control on the driver door also have that problem.

It seems there are some problem for sensors/receivers for the questionable doors? Or the inside wire for those questionable doors have some problem?

Also, if I should pay to fix this problems, how much in general?

Thanks

First, be sure child safety locks are disabled on both rear doors.
Now, let's re cap: from sitting in the drivers seat using the master switch, do all doors lock/unlock?
If only partial movement or no movement of the manual locks, then the door actuators are shot or the wiring. (which is rare.)
Do all manual locks fully move from lock/unlock with the proper detent "feel" to them?
I don't think you have any 'sensor' or wireless remote problems here. Just mechanical.

My Corolla CE 2005, if I press the remote control twice it opens, both passenger doors at the back. Hope this help.

The child safety locks are disables.

Only driver and right-rear passenger doors lock/unlock using either master switch or the lock/unlock button on the driver door. This means that only partial movement of the manual locks.

I don't quiet understand the "with the proper detent feel to them"

I would like to believe there are only mechanical problems.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for you info.
You are right. Press twice within 3 seconds will unlock all the doors. Once only unlock the driver door. Also you can clock-wise move the key twice to unlock all the doors. Anti-clock-wise twice will lock all the doors.

But all those operation only applied to the driver and right-rear passenger doors of my car, not the other two doors.

Thanks

Say there was a cable or rod detached from the manual lock switch. It would feel 'flimsy' or move back and forth very easy.
If it 'click/clicks', into proper position when moving the lock back and forth, then I'd say everything seems connected and you have an actuator issue.
The Toyota parts man here on this site can shoot you some prices for prices for the parts and the labor is only moderate difficulty.
