If the doors lock and unlock from the centre console switch then you can rule out door actuators. If the LED is only lighting on the unlock button and the doors unlock then it would appear that it could be a microswitch issue on the lock side of the key PCB. A local mobile phone repairers or the like should be able to replace them for you or if you are handy with a soldering iron ...

Please note if you are going to open your key cases please ensure you do not mislay the small chip that is seperate from the PCB, it is easy to lose.
