The locks on my doors have gone crazy. Sometimes

The locks on my doors have gone crazy. Sometimes everything will lock and sometimes only one or two doors. Using the key does not guarntee that all doors will lock. Could this be a fuse or a full blown electrical problem? I would like to easily lock my car. Now I go around to all of the doors checking to see if they locked.

The problem is most likely faulty power door lock actuators. Door panels must be removed for testing.

Must use the key to open the door. Once it has been unlocked, the remote will work to lock and unlock the doors. After a short period of time the remotes will not work again and must use the key again to...

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Looks like that you have a faulty door lock actuator that's why it's not responding with the remote. If the actuator is faulty it tends to trip, sometimes will open sometimes won't. Using the key will surely lift the locks upward and by then the actuator can work again.

Have the door lock actuator replaced and you'll be good.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Drivers side window control cluster

The control may have gone bad... You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. Then you can disconnect the controls and test them

Door locks have mind of their own

the fords are well known for the little motors inside the doors to freeze up and stop working!!
but since you say sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, could mean that your BCM is bad!!
(BCM= Body Control Module)

Power door locks going crazy

One of your door lock inside switches are bad.Find the one that doesn't feel right when you push it in either lock or unlock.The internal spring is broke causing the lock relay to keep try to lock or unlock until it gets hot & protects.

I have a 1995 Mercedes Benz s320 and my doors wont lock

There is a central door locking pump under the back seat, the motor has gone in it, cheap way to repair is to strip it down and put a motor in it from a tyre compreser from argos for under £10 very easy to fit just two wires
