My power locks in my 89 LeSaber seem constipated..

I can hear them "trying" to move, but they just can't get going..
I can hit the button a few times and get them to move about half way..
Are there any techniques to get them moving freely again?
thanks 8-[

My 89 Bonnie did the same. Remove the door panels and spray some white lithium lubricant on all the contact points and the actual lock in the door. They get sticky and just need to be lubricated.
