could be that your master lock switch on your drivers side is defective.If I'm not mistaken your passenger side is powered via your drivers side switch.
try electrical cleaner & check continuity at switch
being t he fact your keyless is working, that means you are getting power to your actuators via the remote, But not the switches themselves.

Well, just to troubleshoot the problem: as I understand you, your keyless remote operates the locks, but the door switches inside the car won't work.
You have used a tester and tested the fuse, and the switches are ok. (how did you test the switches, if they don't work?)
OK,that pretty much leaves a wiring issue between the switch and the locks. Since typically, the driver's side lock also controls the passenger side as well, that must mean the fault lies somewhere on the driver's side wiring.
If you are sure that the fuse isn't shorting on and off, so that it might have been working once and not another time you used a tester on it, and you are sure the switches aren't somehow shorting, that means you need to look again at the wiring on the left side. Some connection may be loose on that side. But the remote operates the switch, doesn't it? So that would indicate it would be the switch on the driver's side that was the problem.

IF the switches check OK, check to make sure a wire hasn't broken in the door usually at the tube where wires go between the vehicle and the door... famous for breaking and chafing there...
Most manufacturers use a module for the remotes, that's why the remotes can work but the inside switches don't... also could be issue with module perhaps?

how about a broken or open wire between the dash and the door switch?

replace the batteries in your remote. ask a local jewelry store to open it and take out the used watch battery, then replace it and its good as new
