So my power door locks on my LE Fastback have always been a bit sticky. Lately, I have had to continually move the inside door lock about 5 times before it unlocks and lets me out &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>
And when I lock it with my key from the outside, I can barely close it.
I just wanted to see if anyone has an idea before I pull my doors apart.

Do some parts need grease? Do actuators/solenoids go out?
Also, the actual "lock" in the door handle sort of "rotates." &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Any ideas?

I could use information on this subject as I have the same problem on a 90 fastback.

Okay, so my drivers side lock died.
I can use the passengers side lock easily though.
It is vety hard to unlock from the inside. It is sort of hard to do from the inside. It won't lock from t he outside with a key, at all.
It gets wierder too. It works when the door is open.
I will have time to rip it apart on christmas day. I hope no ine jacks my car until then <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
