    The door locks may be the actuator going or just a simple switch. The rattle could be anything from something loose like a hangar or transfer case doing something weird

    Probably the actuator. On my moms mustang it would take like 3 or 4 clicks of the button for the door to unlock, and sometimes it would work perfectly. On the day we sold it the passenger side door stopped working all together. It sounds like the most reasonable answer, because a loss of power would mean either a short that would pop a fuze causing it to not work at all or a loss of power that would be noticeable through out the rest of the truck.

    Did you try what buggman said? Also, try popping off the door panels and checking the actuator contacts too, make sure no linkage came loose either, it can, the firetruck in my company has had its door taken apart a few times because the linkage comes out when people slam the door
