do a search on power locks...I've read that taking your door panels off and spraying the c*ap out of the lock assemblies with a good lubricant will make a big difference. I would also check the contacts at the switch for corrosion.

Search?!??! What's a search?? You mean it's a way to do some research on a topic that's been discussed before? Wow, what an age we live in!

Just take you panel off and spray all the moving parts for the door lock mechanism with a good silicon. that should help, if it does not use a good power lock switch so u can rule out the switch, and then i would change the power lock motor thingy inside the door all the way at the end under the key hole.
