    Hey Guys,
    So I've been experiencing this issue for a few months now. I've seen the numerous posts from other people saying their door locks stopped working, but those all seem to be absolute failures. My failures are intermittent. It started exclusively with the front passenger door, but in the last couple of weeks now seems to be affecting all the doors, but still only sometimes. The issue can happen with both the fob and the drivers side button. Sometimes just repeatedly locking and unlocking will get me the desired state. So the question to the forum; is this likely an issue with the actuators? Do they slowly fail like this or is this more likely the sign of an electrical problem? Thank you in advance.

    I had the same issues.

    it was the actuators.

    I too found the same info that people said the problem would not be intermittent and the actuator would either be good or bad.

    my was in fact intermittent. I swapped them for refurbished ones from eBay with a lifetime warranty. Ran me about $30 each (I did two doors)

    problem solved for over a year now and no issues
