I certainly have to double press the 'unlock' - only the driver's door tries to unlock on the first press. But that second press provides a 30% chance of unlocking the passenger door, and 0% of the rears..

They usually fail slowly where they will unlock sometimes or only when warm outside.

Certainly it has got worse now it's got cold..
Joy - just looked those up on BavAuto $214 each.. If the existing Actuators are not repairable, at those prices, I'm going to have to pick one door door of the three to repair.. I'd better fix one before the Driver's one packs up too.. Don't want to be needing to climb in through the trunk / boot..
Perhaps will monitor the pick-a-part stock lists..
Thanks for the input!
