Default Door lock issue

So my 2004 has an odd issue with the locks intermittently. When the truck unlocks itself after I've put the truck in park, the rear doors occasionally don't unlock all the way. If I push the button on the drivers door multiple times, sometimes it'll unlock them, others not so much. If I use the button on the remote, most of the time they open right up. Make any sense to anyone else? No? Me either.

My guesses would be weak actuators, or the lock tab is binding up in the door panel? Weird that it only seems to do it in certain situations. They all work on the same circuit and actuator so my guess is the it's just intermittent and not related to what is used to unlock? Only guesses though.

Also how do you get your doors to unlock when put in park? Mine lock when i drive it but they dont unlock when I park. Guess I'm going to have to go digging through the manual.

I figured that the remote/button thing was a coincidence. I might try to lube (hehe) the actuators to see if that helps. Gotta finish these GD headlights first. One issue after another.
