If you cannot lock the doors , but you can unlock them with the remote or keypad - I believe there is a door lock relay in the jack storage compartment (among 5 relays) I believe it is one of the two large relays and is located on the left at the bottom. If you can't lock or unlock the doors with the keypad or remote - some 1995 to 1997 Ford Explorers had a problem with the RAP (remote anti-theft personality module) being damaged by static electricity causing the keypad and remotes not to work. The repair involved installing a "redundant ground" on the passenger seat(s) Check with a Ford dealer

Why am i unable to lock the doors with both the keypad and remote on a 97 explorer?

If you are able to unlock the doors but not lock them I would suspect the " door lock " relay located in the jack storage compartment . There are relays for door unlock / door lock / interior lamps / driver door unlock / and trailer park lamps in the relay box. The door lock relay is one of the larger relays , located in the bottom left position ( looking at the picture ) good luck !
