Well after little over a years-ish ,couple door locks were starting to need "extra" clicks to open or close
My back passenger door, I blasted with brake cleaner, and then use a small pipe cleaner and reblasted then silicone spray, now super smooth.
But my passenger door was same thing and noticed my door lock activator was loose, so as I open and close the lock goes sideways instead,
Lol just saying make sure your screws tight to the door lock actuator , just open door and look ,super easy, lol then I blasted clean and silicones as well...

Re: Door lock mechanism
My rear left door was clicking but not unlocking, seemed to be either stuck or a bit weak...I replaced the central door lock switch in the drivers door ($13 or so) and to my surprise it seem to give more power to the door lock and it now works! To me it sounds as if the click is stronger.
This might be by luck but it started working right after the change so depending your issue you might want to try this simple option before doing bigger jobs.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Johan

Re: Door lock mechanism
Where is the main door lock switch, ? (for all of them) like which relay goes off to open and close?
Only thing I see in the drivers side is my regular actuator for that side, I'd like to change an old dated one, lol if I knew exactly where it is
