Door Lock Sticking

Ladies and gents,

My rear passenger door struggles to unlock with the remote. It takes about 3-4 clicks. It'll unlock fine if I manually flip the lock. I had the same problem on my rear drivers door 1-2 years ago and it required disassembly and cleaning of the mechanism I think.

I can't find the dang thread that discussed it anywhere. Anybody know where that thread is?

Thanks!

 

Nevermind, after an hour of searching I finally found it.

yup yup. I just replaced my front passenger door, it was the last of my 4 doors that had the lil motor replaced. Easy job just a lil time consuming.
