The power locks on my '01 Impala quit on me. I checked the fuse, it was ok, replaced it anyway, still no luck. There is juice going to the fuse. When I use the remote, the headlights and interior lights come on but the doors still won't operate. Any ideas?

Welcome to AF.
The power door locks in manual or RKE modes is controlled by the body control module (BCM).

Would the locks no longer working indicate a defective BCM or (hopefully) just a simple reprogramming?

Probably a defective BCM and based on my experiences a BCM reprogramming never fixes the problem. The problem is when a new BCM is installed it will need to be initialized/programmed by a GM dealer.
