When the locks work in one direction and not the other its usually the door lock actuator inside the door that is failing.
the remote is only a substitute for the door lock switch inside the car. if the locks don't always lock with the inside switch because the actuators are bad then they won't work any better or worse with the remote.
its unusual for all of the door lock actuators to go bad. is only one door affected or multiple doors? is the car a 2 door or a 4 door? If only one door is affected that is the one with the bad actuator.
you do want to check the battery on the remote transmitter and change it if its low but it sounds like the actuator(s) are bad.
the problem wouldn't be caused by a bad fuse or relay. However, if all locks are unlocking but not are locking then you may have a bad ground somewhere in the system.

Door Lock Operation
When the BCM detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the LOCK position, it switches the door lock actuator lock control circuit to voltage. Since the lock actuator unlock control circuits are at ground potential within the BCM, the door lock actuator motors transition to the Lock position.
Driver Door Unlock Operation
When the BCM detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the UNLOCK position, it switches the driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit to voltage. Since the door lock actuator lock control circuit is at ground potential within the BCM, the LF door lock actuator motor transitions to the Unlock position.
The driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit is a dedicated control circuit used only for the driver door lock actuator motor. This is done so that the driver door may be unlocked by itself using a keyless entry transmitter or an automatic door unlock function (if programmed).
Passenger Door Unlock Operation
When the BCM detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the UNLOCK position, it switches the door lock actuator unlock control circuits to voltage. Since the door lock actuator lock control circuit is at ground potential within the BCM, the passenger door lock actuator motors transition to the Unlock position.
The door lock actuator unlock control circuits are dedicated control circuits used only for the passenger door lock actuator motors. This is done so that the driver door may be unlocked seperate from the passenger doors using a keyless entry transmitter or an automatic door unlock function (if programmed). This video on testing computer controlled door locks on a Subaru , doesn't matter . test yours same way > The BCM controls your door locks .
Are all of the power door locks inoperative from both door lock switches?
