All the locks, or just one/two?
If the latter, I'd change out the solenoid(s).

I have the SAME problem. But its my unlock. In the car or the remote.

Locking works good. Well decent.

I was having the same problem with my Town Car and it was the actuator's in the door.

The 99 I just bought was doing the same thing when trying to unlock with the key fob. It would take several presses of the key fob to get the doors to unlock, mainly the rear and passenger doors. I then took some lithium grease and sprayed the actuators and rods and it works good now.

do you have to take door panels off to access these? trying some lithium grease sounds like a good option to try before I go buy new actuators..
