I finally got my central locking working flawlessly. The FAQ helped me open up the lock motor assemblies. One had a bad winding so would only run if you give it a helping spin, the other had fried the entire insides it almost caught on fire judging from the blacked insides of the case. Neither could be fixed so picked up 3 from Pick N Pull $6.85 each including tax and environmental fee. The trunk lock motor just had a loose connection.

I had to pressure wash the door lock assembly to get out the hard grease before the lockmotor could unlock 2 of the doors. I lubed them up liberally before pressure washing but it just wasn't enough. Pressure washed then lubed again with a noticable improvement and everything works now.
