Hello new to the forum. Which looks great! I have a 2001 Expedition. cant seem to lock the other 3 doos from the drivers seat only my own. Also the rear right lock doesnt want to unlock from the drivers door. the problem spread fromone door to the next. You can hear it clicking like it wants to but wont. Still unlocks it you manually pull the button up or down. Thanks for any help.

The door lock actuators get "weak" with age.

If you have the time and patience, they can be rebuilt. Search around this web site as somewhere there are detailed instructions.

In expensive replacements are available on eBay ($41 for pair of fronts)

Check to see if the rivets that hold the actuators to the door haven't broken loose. I found that that has happened to me a couple of times. They are just aluminum rivets at the lower rear part of the door. Look for the rivet head there if gone then you'll have to take the door apart and either rerivet or bolt it back to the door.

OK Im going to start with taking the buttom off and cleaning the contact first. I heard it click once or twice since then and now wondering if its a bad contact. The forum also mentioned a bad wire in the door jam and ill also lok at the actuators as mentioned above. Thanks
