Unhappy Door Locks

I need help. I have a 2000 F-150 with keyless entry.
For several months now I have had problems with my door locks. It goes liike this , if my truck has been siting or I have been driving awhile my door locks will work once and once only. You can activate the switch and you can hear them trying to work and see the door locks try to move but the more you do it the less of a sound you hear and the less motion it makes. let the truck sit and it will unlock or lock once and once only. Sounds crazy but it acts like a weak battery that has to sit and recharge. Now this happens both with the door lock switch and with the keychain switch.

Thanks for any response I get.

Hi bondurch and welcome to FTE

It does sound like you both probably need new actuators.
You could verify that by jumping 12V and ground straight to the actuator and see what happens.
