Ok, I'll try to clean those. I wonder if some contact cleaner would
work? I have tons of that stuff.

We can lock the doors using the key, that is fine. One of the locks -
rear passenger side - wasn't always working but it's fine now.

If one of the door locks doesn't move when the doors open, is it a pain
to replace the actuator? I'm not worried about this, I check that door
and make sure it's locked if I've opened it.
