Door Lock Relay

[internetman]

Where can I find a door lock relay for a Mazda Protege 2000 ES 1.8L? My door locks don't always open/close; I want to test to see if it's the relay. Mazda quoted me $123, but online, relays for other cars are priced at $7, and regardless, dealers are always overpriced.

Thank you for the anticipated help!

Just a thought:
Do the locks work fine when you dont "click-click-click" the remote.
I noticed the locking device needs a minute to gather itself before working again.
When I give the car a little while to regain itself between clicks, the locks work fine.
Just a thought.

Well sometimes, they all lock via remote, inside switch. Sometimes only a couple lock, sometimes none lock. They all lock when it's cold outside, I noticed. I don't think the actuator should be the problem since they all are working. I thought the relay...am I correct? When I push lock/unlock constantly, the locks eventually stop working and u can only hear the relay clicking...
