Power Doors

My right side door has just started loosing power at the power locks. It happens with no warning. Some times it will start working right away other times it can take days. I was looking for ideas before i have to start tracing wires.

Thanks
Dan

Either a bad switch or more than likely, the actuator is going bad.

a failing actuator will usually click and still move the door lock, but may not have enough power to lock/unlock the door. When it does work, does it have full strength to unlock/lock? I would suspect a loose connection somewhere at the switch or actuator, if it works full strength but not all the time.
