I have a 97 Mustang gt. My door locks are on the fritz. They like to lock or unlock once, but after that they seem to loose power. I can hear them trying to activate but it doesn't fully lock. what should i try first. im at a lose, they work sometimes then other times they don't.

thanks in advance !!!

* i just went out and tried it again, they locked and unlocked strong about 8 times then after that they started dieing out, if i were the actuators why would they die out slowly and not just all together?

Check your fuse, otherwise it's possable for both locks to go out at the same time. I have seen it, there's a relay for the locks too i bet.

hope this helps.

Yepper... Both of mine are out now. I just got a price quote for a used set for $48 per. I would hate to see how much a new set go for.
