If the pulls on the door tops are very stiff to move, especially the rear ones... you can be pulling more amps than the relay that is driving it will support... and it is popping back open in the relay before it should, eventually the relay will be hurt to the point of no longer working at all. check that the door pulls all work very smoothly and without undue force. if they don't you can start by spraying a lube into the pull button to see if that is all it takes. I went to Lowes and got a dresser drawer slide lube, it's almost scent free, and used that. If that doesn't smooth them out you will have to take the door card partionally off to get to the rest of the mechanism, you can miss it.

Also you may have to swap out the relay box that is above the drivers left big toe, take the cardboard off (careful with the barbed plugs you will need to dig the center post out and pull out to relax the barbs) and you will see a black metal item on the left moving up, you will see a black square about 1/4" square pointing directly at you with a bronze metal three sided clip holding it in. push the clip to remove it and the black plastic unit will come out towards the front of the car, easy. source a replacement unit and plug it in and lay on the floor to prove that it works. guess what, you don't need the same model, you can use any of them from the c900s too. there are two difference, one is that one variant is all solid state and the other is older and has real relays. either seems to work. the other is that the c900 mount is different than the 9000, no plastic square peg for the mount with the bronze clip. if you are careful... you can force a screw driver from the connector end into the slot where the wide barb goes and locks into the external can. you can do this and use a smaller screwdriver to ease that side apart, then do the other side... then you have the external "can" off the circuit board with connector. do the same with the working one you have, and slip the 9000 can over the 900 electronic and push together. reinstall. enjoy.
