I have a 2000 ford f150 lariat and the power locks only work some of the
time. This happens either when I use the key chain remote, keyless entry or
pushing the lock button inside on the door. I have heard this is a common
problem with f150's. Any advice on how to fix the problem?

and if they work sometimes, do they work on full speed or really slow ??

if so, you need doorlock actuators

You know, to be honest, it was a common problem with power door locks on
everything over the last 40 years. The problem is usually that it rains on
the actuators, and they never were well-engineered to begin with. Sometimes
you'd have an electrical problem instead, as simple as a half-unplugged
connector. You pretty much have to find those the old-fashioned way.
