The solenoids do play up but check the wiring as it passes through the body to tailgate as the movement here will often break the wire, INSIDE THE INSULATION, done a few escorts broken here, grab ends of wire and try to pull apart and you will soon see if the wire is broken inside.

You need to check it is moving FULLY, the solenoid pulls on a little linkage that rotates a circular piece of metal at the end of the lock barell, if it cannot move fully(partially seized) this will give what you have, just take lock out and it is easy to see how it works,.
As the circular piece moves(rotates) it ligns up a CUTOUT section of it which allows ther pluger(lock button) to be depressed.
