Default 1995 power door locks

Hey everyone
I have a '95 blazer that I've had for a couple of years now. It's got a few little issues but nothing too serious.
One thing really bugging me is the power door locks. All the doors will lock with the power locks but the passenger side and drivers will not unlock.
The passenger side lock will operate manually from the inside, it would also unlock with the key, difficult mindyou, but not from the power locks.
It will try to unlock, I can feel it move, but it jams on something and fails. I've been inside the door and I can't see what the problem is.

More recently, and more annoyingly, is the driver's side. It will act very similarly, only I can only unlock it manually, no key, no power. I have not been inside that door since this has happened. I thought I would ask and see if anybody has ideas before I spend the time to open it up.

Thanks
-Eric

You need to get into the door, remove the latch, and lubricate the latch itself, working it back and forth to free up everything. If you have a difficult time unlocking the doors from outside, just think how difficult of a time the actuator is having at doing it from inside the door.

Actually, my drivers side front door does this about 80% of the time... I was just fixing to dive into it any day now. Thanks for the tip Kyle!
