Central Locking system Help needed (archive)

I have a problem with my locks on my 1987 325is. Apparently my master lock functin doesn't work all the time. When I lock the doors from the drivers door, meaning all locks should go down, well mine works about 30% of the time, and it has gotten worst since the first occurence. When I turn the key all the way to doubble lock, the drivers door always locks, but the passenger door doesn't 70% of the time. Soemtimes the trunk lock locks other times it doesn't.

So what I wanted to know is, is the lock in the drivers door not actuating the rest of the system, or is it the individual locks that are not functioning correctly.

It has become very frustrating to deal with, I have to manually lock the passenger door all the timel, and I want to install an alarm, but I want all the locks working 100% before, because thenj when I click the button, all the locks won't lock.

Any help is appreciated..

Sincerly
