Power lock and trunk lock problem, pls help

Hi,

My doors can't lock completely at the first time, I have to press about 3 times to lock them, any suggestion ?

My trunk won't suck down, I have to push it hard to lock it, is it broken ? I got a 87 donor car, can I just swap it.

My bird is 89 V6, just fix it one month ago.

Thanks

Joe

witht he door locks, try looking at the push/pull rods, they may have been deformed, or out of shape. 2nd choice, the actuators are going bad.

the hatch, can be adjusted, sounds like the plastic actuating arm may be missing/stripped. I would swap it out first, and look in the tech articles to how you might be able to rebuild the motor/assembly. then you have 2 good ones.
