Power locks not working
Ok so my power locks aren't working when I hit lock or unlock it moves a little but not enough to unlock or lock When i hit the button a few times it gets slower then it doesnt move at all untill i close and open the door I thought one would go first but they both went at the same time I tried spraying wd40 to se if it would better

Its most likely your lock actuators. Very common for them to go out. There is a mod that you can do to bring them back to life. Cant quite remember... something about taking the actuator apart, removing something and replacing it with foil or something. Sure if you searched you can find it here or another site. But the actuators are the main culprit. Mine does the same thing.

Seems to be that way for some reason... Mine are. I can usually get one good lock before they go total slug. Then after about 10 mins I can get them to unlock
I plan on doing this myself or just replacing them eventually. I just have to double check that my doors actually locked when I use the key fob so someone wont break in.

I did it today but I didn't have a stubby flat screwdriver so I took the lock off with those 3 torx bolts and used tinfoil to replace the pice that's goes bad

It wasn't that hard at all
The only problem I had was getting the window guide clip back on the outside of the upper part I had to use a screwdriver to hold the clip in place wile I pushed it back in place
