hi all. my ba is failing to lock the front passenger door im not sure how to test the mechanism. s there anything else I could check

Sounds like a broken actualator (Spelling?)

You can pick one up for about 100 bux on Ebay I think.

Common problem, if its under warranty get Ford to fix it.

Had the same problem a few weeks ago... Door actuator gone.. A guy sells them on ebay $65 changeover... or like $100 to buy

Yep as above it is most likely your door actuator. If it makes a weird noise when you lock then that's pretty much it.

I bought one from a wrecker for I think $70 and fitted it myself. Just make sure the little rod that you get is the same as the original one. I just had to swap them around after putting it in and realizing it was wrong! very easy to do.

As above very common, get a quote of Fraud if they over 100$ do it yourself.

Easy enough job to do for the back door too? mine's left's not unlocking, and sounds like the actuator/arm's come loose.

Cheers

Same Same, but Different??

back on topic chaps, keep it clean. There are some protagonists who cannot afford any more warnings.Nuff said

must be a very common problem, I had a rear drivers door go on me to !

... and did you change it over yourself?
