Default another power door lock question

just finished fixing my power windows and now I'm on to the power locks! the passenger lock seems to work fine and the rear right one will lock/unlock if you hit the button 10 times. I'm assuming that I'm losing power somewhere? i saw a fix someone where but now i can't find where. or could it be bad relays?

this is a 89 cherokee with factory power locks and keyless entry. i don't have the key fobs though.

My pwr locks were pulling power from the battery while the car was off. There is a 30 amp fuse for the locks. The having to hit the switch a lot is just an xj thing lol.

Sorry that fix is for us older jeeps. I'd still start with checking volts at the lock motors then I'd see if they work with good power and go from there

No sorry I can't see what year you are on this app for some reason I was thinking '91. If you run good volts like evens batt charger to a lock motor that's moving but not and it jumps like it's new I'd guess the volts are dropping but a meter is a must
