The lock actuator contains a thermistor wired in series with a small DC motor. The thermistor will quickly heat up when the lock switch is pressed. This causes the resistance to also increase qucikly there by reducing the current flow to the motor. This is a protective function that prevents damage to the lock actuator if the switch is held down too long. It should function several times before the thermister begins to limit the current but over time these devices will weaken and limit the current too quickly. Some time to the point where the doors will not lock or unlock anymore. This requires the lock actuators be replaced. The old thermistor can be removed and a new installed but this takes some effort to find the correct current value thermister.

A more or less permanent (though difficult) solution might be to remove the door panels and disconnect the lock actuator wire connectors on the offending locks. Though if you have the door open, you might want to fix the locks instead. If the motors keep running but otherwise work OK, the solution might be to check and clean the limit switches. Alternatively, you might need to replace the door lock actuators. For a quick way to silence the locks, you can pull fuse #24, which will disable all the power door locks, as well as the power seats, the rear defogger, and the remote keyless entry system.
