Power Locks Question

[SeventyMach1]

When I try to lock/unlock the doors with the button, the locks kind of "twitch" but don't go up & down. I'm tired of having to manually do it when I know I'm supposed to have power locks, lol. It's been like this since I bought it.

What causes them to do this?


BTW, the windows work perfect. They raise/lower at 697 mph (it seems).

I would also like to know the same thing. Mine is the same thing. Same with the windows too.

A manual binding, a faulty door lock actuator or bad connection.

Ford put in some very poorly made acuators for a few years, and most of them failed after a period of time.
I've book marked this sites to replace mine (they are all out), just have not gotten around to it, yet.

You can either replace with actual replacement parts from a vendor PowerStrokeShop or you can get some less expensive actuators on web. BUT they are not a direct bolt-in. Your choice.

Hope that helps some!

mine did that too, first the passenger door, then the right rear passenger door, then the other two, lol...i bought all four from ford, i think they were around 30 bucks a piece, took about 15/20 mins a door to do, not too bad of a job

If they all 4 go out then replace them with the same ones I found and use. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=330-010 these are really cheap and work wonderfully. I have replaced all 4 of mine with these and so far 8 months later they still work. Thinking about for the price getting 4 more just incase. Took about an hour to get the first one on then about 20 minutes each after that. Had to monkey with the locations but after that it took longer to take the panel off than installing the locks.
