Default door locks...

So I have a 98 limited and for one the power locks dont work. 2) only the driver side door switches work unless its raining. Weird. 3) the manual switch on the driver side lock is binding or something and I cant get it to budge even with a replacement rod. Im lost in all this. Any help would be awesome. Thanks CF!

Where is it binding? Take off the panel and find out.

Get some white lithium grease and lube it up. Also clean the plugs out.

Is there a relay for any of my electrical proplems? Or just standard fuses? Also is it a common problem for the electronic doors to mess up? My 96 had the same issue. Is there a way to test anything?

So I replaced the fuse for the locks and the driver side switch dosent work but the passenger side does. Now I notice them locking and unlocking by themselves... awesome right? I really need a solution to this.
