Door lock motors not working....
that good. They seem to lock and unlock, but you have to hit the buttons a few times to get them to FULLY lock or unlock. Anyone had this problem before? Are the lock motors sticking or need to be cleaned?
I am installing a keyless entry system, and I guess I must get the doors to lock/unlock normally, before I can get the remote system to work.

Had the same problem last weekend. From the top spray WD-40 to free up the latch. (Barring mechanical problems), the power latch should work fine, then spray the whole thing again with lithium grease. Cycle the switch to move the grease around and your done.

Thanks for the tip. Where (and how) do you spray Lithium grease? Do I need to tear the door panels off to get to the motors?

Yep, I just used WD40 and worked the locks real good. They seem to unlock/lock much better now. I basically squirted in around the latch, and aimed it all inside the door panels. As long as I don't have to take them off, I will be ok!!!!
