Default power door locks 98 cherokee

Is there a way to fix my power door locks? They work when they want and flawlessly but sometimes I just hear a clicking in passenger side switch and nothing locks?

My passenger door works when it wants to and only the drivers panel can control the windows in mine. From what ive read its probably in the wires going into the bottom of the doors. They get weak form bending when the door opens and closes and eventually break. Also read that dirty contact points on the switches will cause them to not work

My driver's side front door locks and unlocks as it should, when the door panel is off. When the door panel is on, it stays unlocked. I can't even use the key to lock the door with the panel on. What should I check for? Is there a spring on the locking mechanism?
