First for the tire....take it off the car and submerge in a pool....give a quick shake to make sure all air is off the tire (personal recommendation, not required), watch for air bubbles, mark leak....2nd, after confirming that nothing shook loose mechanically and electronically, I would look at the lock actuators and make sure they're getting power. If not, I'd look for a damaged wire (start at the door hinges) the fact that they went out at different times tells me it wasn't a fuse, considering the front ones still work....if you're getting power, keep the panel off and watch the actuator as you hit the lock switch a weak actuator will only partly move (but not enough to perform the task) if it's dead, it won't move at all
