1998 Honda Acord Ex power locks failing?

have a 1998 Honda Accord ex 4 cyl that has keyless entry. The driver's side lock does not work with the keyless remote. The back passenger door moves about a 1/4 of an inch ecah time the keyless remote button is pressed until it unlocks. Any idea on the parts needed to repair?

Update:

The battery and wiring that resides in side the door of the car? The back passenger door did get progressively worse. The driver's side just died. The othe rtwo doors work ok.

    The ones that are not working need what is called a "door lock actuator" they are a mechanical/electrical part inside the door that physically moves the lock from one position to the other.

    Check the battery, wiring, then the fuses. It is unlikely that all the door lock actuators just failed all of a sudden. Unless this is a progressive problem and they died one at a time.

    Your keyless entry seems to be working but the power is either not getting to the lock actuator or the actuator has gone bad.
