power locks
my power locks no longer work either with my fob or the door control. I can hear a relay clicking and they are trying to move, but don't quite make it. Anyone else encounter these problems

Where are the actuators and how much are they? Are they hard to replace?
Thanks!

On my 99 f250 v10 if you lock the passenger door the drivers door will lock. If the passenger door is unlocked neither door will unlock. Is there a way to isolate the actuators. I believe that the passenger door actuator is probably the bad actuator. Or could both actuators be bad?

Yeah, is it one actuaor or both that need replacement? Or is it a switch or a bad ground?
I have the same problem with my 94. The driver door works just fine and unlocks both doors. The passenger side just makes a noise like something winding up for about a second and maybe the **** pops up a 1/4 inch but doesn't unlock either door. It also does the same to lock.
I am suspecting maybe a bad ground for the passenger side switch since the driver side does make both doors unlock, the the passenger switch doesn't. I did once remove the passenger switch and open it up and used a contact burnisher(like a mini file) but that had no effect.
Sooo... Is it the passenger switch, the passenger actuator or maybe a bad ground somewhere?
Note I live in Oregon so there is a lot of moisture at least half the year and it does cause corrosion inside the truck on bare metal surfaces. The driver switch is used all the time, the passenger switch rarely.
I am cheap and also prefer fixing the exact problem rather than shotgunning it by replacing a lot of parts.
Thanks,
