Power locks problem on a 2000

[jmurph]

So I just bought a 2000 f150 and its had this problem with the locks since before I bought it. When trying to use the power locks, it tries to work but acts like its not getting enough power to push or pull the lock. I can hear it trying to work, I haven't had much of an opportunity to look into it since its been pretty dang cold outside.
Does anyone have an idea of what my problem could be?

New here also, does anyone have pics or is there a post showing the replacement of the lock mechanism? My passenger side works on mine but the drivers side does not, can't even hear clicks or anything, so i'm thinking the actuator is dead.

Found this replacement post...not a whole lot of info but enough to help I think. I'll be using this and other posts to fix my drivers door lock.
