2001 X V10 Door Locks Stuck

Hello,
New to the FTE world with my recent (and best) purchase! I bought my 2001 with 85k for $5k and mentally prepared myself that it would likely need some work. Had cat-back replaced a week after purchase. Next up, door locks - I can hear the switches in all 4 doors trying to lock/un-lock, they move ever so slightly which makes me think that due to minor usage over the past 14 years, they are just a bit sticky on the inside of the door panel. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated before I go tearing off the door panels.
Not sure I uploaded pics correctly, please forgive this rook.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you!

Obviously did not post the pics correctly...

Pic is what caused quick replacement of cat-back the first week I bought it. Replaced with 24" Magnaflow muffler...not as loud as I had hoped but should get louder once it gets 'broken in'!

Thanks! Glad to hear an EX owner is also a Pit owner, and you'll understand that I really bought the EX for the dogs. Nothing purchased is every truly for me, always the dogs.

The battle for captains seat is real between Ozzie & Harriet. Ozzie is the big boy.
