Remote Keyless entry not working.

[willedriver]

I bought a 2000 F-350 crewcab from a private party and when I got it home, discovered the keyless entry only works on the drivers door. And the electric locks don't work on the other 3 doors either. I would like to work on them myself but I don't know how to get the door panels off. I discovered a bolt behind the red lens on the doors and taking it out loosens up the panel a bit, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any help?? Thanks, Ken

remove the power window switch panel, there is a screw behind there,then lift straight up on the panel about an inch, should come right off. hope i didn't forget a screw. (maybe someone else will confirm) Good luck

oh yeah, you have to punch the unlock button twice to unlock all doors.

I believe he knows that, and the other 3 locks have failed even using his unlock button on the door.....

Thanks for the replies guys. I did get the panel off one of the doors, but then there is a layer of some kind of sound deadening material with sticky stuff on the back. Just pull it off??? will it restick itself later? Besides the electric locks not working, I have a "door ajar" light on the dash all the time and it's keeping my dome lights on. There must be a micro switch somewhere, but I haven't been able to locate it. I'm starting to think this might be a job for a body shop...

im not terribly familiar with the ford setup, but with the systems i do know about, if you have a door ajar (false signal or not) it will render the RKE useless. i'd fix that first, and try the locks then.

shoot some wd40 in the latch, and that will take care of the door ajar
