SOURCE: hi, my drivers door lock

You will have to replace the lock cylinder, they come as a set so you will not have different keys, the cause of this is a little pin in the cylinder is stuck, you could try spraying WD40 into the cylinder first, you might get lucky, once in awhile it worked for me.

SOURCE: 2000 Ford Focus automatic door locks quit working.

check fuse 63 first.

Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical

  • Binding latch mechanisms
  • Binding linkage
  • Misaligned door
  • Central junction box fuse 63 (20A)
  • Damaged wiring harness
  • Loose or corroded connection(s)
  • Circuit
  • Door lock switch
  • Door lock actuator



It could also be your GEM (generic electronic module) which is expensive as it controls a lot of stuff. A scan tool can be used to cehck for fault codes from the GEM.

    SOURCE: Door locks on Ford Expedition stuck

    Look under your steering wheel right under the dash. There should be a small white strip with 5 numbers. This is your master code for your vehicle. If you bought the car used and they give you a code, they could have made their own code, but the master will override it. If this don't help, the module for the doors may be going bad.

    Why does the horn and hazard lights on my 1999 Ford Windstar keep flashing and horn keep blowing?

    Just a guess but your remote may be shorting out on the panic button. Try taking the battery out of the remote and just using the key to open the doors for a day or two and see if it still does it. If not, replace the remote. Another more likely possibility with this particular vehicle could be the door switches. The door switches on my Windstar would cause the dome light to stay on all the time when the contacts get corroded. If you van is locked with the alarm armed it could be the door switch causing the alarm to think someone has opened a door even when they haven't. (You can remove and clean or just replace all of the door switches or track down the particular suspected door switch. Mine was always the sliding door..clean the contacts with scotch brite or steel wool and coat with very thin battery terminal grease.)

    2000 Windstar - key fob works for all doors EXCEPT drivers door. Key also doesn't work in drivers door.

    The door locking mechanism and actuators are the most likely issue here. Very unliekly that the key fob is the problem. not sure about he problem with the drivers door lock, could be dirty, damaged or not the original that matches the key. have you tried graphite?

    1999 - 2000 ford winstar sel power locks very weak ...hardly work work erratically...driver and passenger locks do not lock or unlock automatically.....8-(

    On the 2000 Windstar that I was working on, the casing for the door lock actuators had split and the lock knob on the top of the door would twitch when I hit the button, but would not lock or unlock fully. I replaced the door lock actuators (in stock at my local dealership) and cleared up the problem. Also check the bushings that link the rods inside the doors. They are plastic and occasionally wear out

    I am wanting to know where the door light is on the door jam on my 1999 ford windstar lx......i am trying to program a key fob and need to find the door light to press in......

    i think you should cycle the key on-off-on-off like 8 or ten times ending in on position, the locks will cycle and then press a key on the remote, the locks should cycle noting it programmed the remote, and do another or turn the key off. then try it

    Unfortunately, This is a very common problem with Ford Explorers! Ford replaces the locks when it encounters this issue. I managed to unseize my passanger door and tailgate lock, but the drivers door lock is broken beyond repair. You can purchase new remotes for your explorer and program them very easily.
