I have a 2000 Astro with power door locks that sometimes work, and sometimes dont. The drivers door lock, and rear door lock seems to want to lock/unlock (i can hear them) when the remote or door switch is pressed, but wont actually lock/unlock. The passenger door and sliding door sometimes have the same problem. Is the problem the door lock actuator or a relay going bad?

I have oiled the locks a couple of times and they are pretty easy to open with the key, just today I ordered a pair of new actuators for $65 shipped (front driver and passenger). Is the sliding door and rear door (i have the double doors) actuator the same part? I plan to order another pair if they are.

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD HAVE TO SAY, BUT THE RIGHT PARTS, YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO CUT AND SPLICE ANY NEW PART TO WORK IF YOU DO IT IS WRONG, I WOULD HAVE TO RECCOMEND DEALER PARTS, THEY CAME IN YOUR CAR AND GAVE YOU YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE AND WERE ENGINEERED TO WORK WITH THE VEHICLE, JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
