what exaclty do you mean with don´t work in the car? I remember that my 323 from 98 did not have a function that allowed you to lock the car by pushing a central lock button. if you are missing the feature that your cars locks doors while driving it might well be as your car does not have that feature. mine didn´t and i had the remote central lock, too.

it just started not working recently. i do have the lock button beside my shifter. it just doesnt work anymore nor do the locks work when i press my driver lock knob down also the locks only work when i use the remote

as the system works at least partially it is most likely not the fuse. I could just imagine it to be the control unit. sorry for not being of better help, but maybe another memeber knows more.
