I'm pretty sure most of us had problems with our door locks not working. I'm one of those and would like a definite answer on how to fix them. Mine don't work at all and it sounds that they are too weak to move back and forth when I press the button. The passenger lock from inside sometimes gets jammed too. Anyway I can fix whatever needs fixing without removing the original plastic from the inside panel.
 
No I just did mine a while back.u have to remove the complete door latch and open the plastic cover that holds the motor remove the gear and use jumper wires to cycle the motor back and forth without a load. Obviously if your motor don't spin it's toast and your gonna have to replace it.i don't know if anyone sells those motors seperately so u might have to buy the complete assembly.
 
you might wanna check out your lock and unlock relay , in a 1g there above the fuse panal drivers side by the brake and clutch not sure the exact location in the 2g but im assumeing its the same
 
The motors get weak over time. You can replace them with universal door lock actuators. The aftermarket actuators are usually faster and more powerful than the stock ones.
Thinking of just doing that. Anyway I can do it without removing the oem plastic or at least be able to stick it back?
