01' Power Door Locks

Did a quick search but did not see anything. The door locks on my 01' do not always work with the key fob. I can see them move when I hit the button but they do not always fully lock/unlock. Was thinking I need to pull the door panels and lube things but wanted to check in and see if someone else fixed this issue a different way.

More likely than not, the actuators are failing.

I believe, by the sound of the description your actuators done. About a year ago I changed out all four on my truck, not a hard job.
Make sure your windows are full up when you pull the panels off. I also if I remember correctly think you will need a 10mm socket, about 5 inch extension, and a (maybe) 25 torque bit??? Instructions can be found on this site as that is where I got it from or YouTube. The panels take as long to get on and off as the actuator replacement.

Same opinion, actuators. I also did all 4 at the same time, everything works as advertised now.
