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.  I have cleaned all the grounds on the central lock ground junction (sliding door).
