you posted and did not disclose if the locks are electric, and just 2doors fail this way all other work correctly."?
if yes, then the wires are bad (harness) or the switch controls are bad.
any auto electric shop can find this.
they inspect it first, for wire damage (looking)
if all that looks good the switch is bad.

some cars have child safe lock in the controls but I dont think this car has that, it only has ,hidden locks in the rear door (rear sides, levers)

Sports (96-98) are equipped with power windows and door locks. Yes the child safe locks are in rear two doors.

this is a pure electrical problem do you know how to use a voltmeter and do simple diagnosis?  of said electricals.
I told you inspecting the wiring first, why skip that?   its first first. on all things that move (cars/planes/boats ,)
looking is first.... 
if the wiring look 100% perfect no cuts, fray , rust, damage to wire or connectors on the left side,  ( the harness runs under the door sills on mine) and those too need to be removed to see the harness and door cards too, all shops know this, LOOK for damage.

if all that looks ok and the switch wires are not mangled at the switch (again look first)
then what is next,  this is all just normal diagnosis .
a voltmeter, see if the switch sends 12vdc to the rear lock when it should not, if yes, the switch is bad. some just get stuck some switches can be repair, but to be  honest I LOOK FIRST.
even dismantle a switch to see if it is damage or some junk (dirt etc) stuck inside

page 29  is your cars locks. in details off my schematics page.  seems the top right switch on page 29 is  messing up, is not the (Driver and all doors, setting?)

Somebody says Actuator is bad?
they should of said,
  • wires bad, and connectors
  • bad switches
  • bad controller
  • bad lock actuator motor   (in the door)
if you dont want to test or have pro fix your car, then guess.
start with cheap parts and work up to expensive.  in most cases guessing always is the most expensive tactic. ( why skip inspections?  costs nothing but labor to inspect)
