Could be lack of lubrication, I'd spay some silicone lubricant on it and then a light layer of white lithium grease on top. That might loosen it up.

do you see any moisture inside door panel? any wires being pinched? if the door unlocks and then locks by itself, or you have to hold it in the unlock position for it to open correctly, this usually means the actuator itself is f'd.

did you try leaving the door panel off and then trying to watch it when you close the door and lock it? Possibly seeing what is happening when you close the door or when it ismoving to lock? Maybe something there. Or perhaps it could just be generally fuxzored.
