Central locking problem with Ford Fiesta

My 2004 Ford Fiesta's remote central locking is playing up, sometimes it locks and unlocks on the key buttons, but most of time you have to press buttons quiet a few times for it to do anything. I have replaced the battery, but it is still the same. Any ideas?

Damp from condensation getting into the lock servos. Might be able to dry them out with WD40.
