I had the same issue with my 2014 kia sorrento. I heard the clicking noise people were talking about, i even went as far as replacing the fuses, both the short 20a and the 50a. After initially giving up and deciding to call the kia service department, i sat in my car a bit and i noticed the door a jar light was on. So i went around my car and pushed the little black tab on the body known as the door jab( door close and open sensor.) I just placed gray tape on it to hold it down and turned the car on. After that i was able to lock, unlock, and even set the alarm. I am currently waiting for the replacement part i ordered online, to replace it. Good luck and i hope this helps someone
