What problems can be caused by a faulty Central Locking Solenoid?

Central locking not working at all

The car key batteries are ok but when pressing the lock or unlock button the central locking does nothing, it won't open or close. It may sound as if it's trying to move but not getting enough power to complete the locking/unlocking action.

Central locking doesn't always work

The central locking mechanism doesn't always work, sometimes it can sound like it's trying to unlock/lock the doors but it doesn't work.
