WD40 and some elbow grease to remove the door panels is a good start. Or, go "cheesy" and spray the bejesus with the red pipe into the door panel. If it is clicking, it is getting voltage (your battery is good?) so it may be 25 years of muck and friction on the linkages. If this is in ALL doors, it may be a resistance drop; pull and replace the appropriate fuse to "wipe" the connection at the socket.
