On my car because the mechanism is 26 years old this year and worn out.
how do I fix a electric door on a ford mustang
u need to buy a new door lock actuator
If the electric door lock is frozen on a 1999 Suburban, a hair dryer can be used to warm the area of the door where the lock mechanism is. If the key entry is also frozen, there is a lock de-icer pen that can be used to spray away frost in the keyhole.
Some vehicles will not let you lock the door when it is opened. This is a safety procedure ensuring you don't lock your keys in the car, get locked out.
The door lock actuator is going bad.
The lock actuator is going bad. The actuator is part of the latch.
Lock door with key .... unlock door with key then lock and hold key over for a few seconds
The lock has a motor at the edge of your door(in the door jamb) My motor whined but was bad. part was $129.00 for an idea. Greg
LS or town car
sounds like the lock soleniod is gone.
If the problem is from a faulty electric lock, then repeated operation of the ignition switch and door lock switch (i.e. a few dozen times) may get the lock to function. Worth a try - boring but easy to do.
If there is no obvious damage to the wiring, it is probably the electric motor inside the door. This is a very simple fix on the Explorer so I imagine it is also on the Expedition.
