Well pull the fuse and check to see if its blown. If not, plug it back in, and see if it still has the problem.

If that fixes the problem temporarily, its most likely due to a leak. Once the motor tries to pull a door closed, and can't it times out. Pulling the fuse resets the motor.

It should be a 20amp fuse, which is yellow.

Remove the footwell light on the passenger rear footwell, and you'll see the fuses. I couldn't tell you which it is off hand, but its at the end of a fuseblock color segment.
