Brian, that is kind of odd behavior for a sliding door power lock motor. Usually they last forever since they don't have the same moisture problems as the ones in the front doors. I would recommend taking it out and opening it up and looking inside. It is not very complicated inside and you can lubricate and clean it. I wonder if the problem is the motor or maybe something with your lock mechanism itself. I would also check that while you are in there. A new one going bad in a year is very unusual.

PS If anything I said disparages Van-Cafe let me apologize ahead of time :-) Preemptive strike!

I can unlock that door and eventually it will kick off all the other doors.
