Our 2000 ford expedition pwr door locks work erratically. From inside switches, or key fob. Usually the passenger door lock, and the door behind the driver operates all the time. The drivers door lock and the door behind the front passenger seat only work from the two (2) key fobs 30% of the time. On those two we sometimes have to manually grab hold of them and pull the knob up. I'm not mechanically learned and can't afford to pay a dealer what it would cost to get it repaired. The vehicle has a 5.8 engine, and going on 280,000 almost all, highway miles. It has been a sweetheart of a vehicle even though the mileage is only between 15-16 mpg. That is what it has averaged ever since we bought it with 14,000 miles on it. I would appreciate any help/advice I can get on how to correct the door lock problem and perhaps increase the mileage. These ridiculous gasoline prices are now keeping us from doing any unecessary driving. Thank you and have a great day. W.R.

Could be lock actuator worn out or I would check the wires in the rubber boot that the wires run though from the body to the door. The wires become brittle and break from the constant opening and closing of the door.

Thank you for your advice on what to do. I am going to check the wiring in the morning. W.R.

Hi. Me again. I checked the wiring in the doors. Moved them around and tried to feel if there were any breaks in them and looked to see if any of the insulation was rubbed/worn off. Couldn't see anything wrong there. Is checking/replacing the door lock actuator a -diy- job, or do I need to take it to a professional? Thank you for letting me pick your brain on this! ! ! W.R.

Trim Panel—Front Door

NOTE: High series shown, low series similar.
NOTE: The window must be completely down to remove the front door trim panel. - ..
- Remove the screws.
- Remove the inside door handle cup (22634).
- On low series front door trim panel, remove the screw and the window regulator handle.
- Start in a lower corner and work around the panel and separate the front door trim panel (23942) from the front door (20124) to disengage the pin-type retainers.

Installation - reverse ^^
Removal - Remove the front door trim panel (23942). For additional information, refer to Section 501-05.

You will need to buy new riviots from ford they are a special riviot and you will need a heavy duty riviot gun

ZMAME: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You can't ever imagine how much I appreciate this information from you. Especially so in this economy when we can't afford to have this work done by a dealer. God bless you and all the people out there that respond to people's questions like mine. W.R.

W.R. - Z mentioned the rivets. This will be a stopper if you can't get the right gun for those as they are bigger and takes unreal force to pop the new one which really can't be fakes. Lot's of parts outlets have a loan-a- tool program - free with deposit. Last one I used I borrowed as it was a nice hydraulic one that cost about $300 bucks, Yikes!
I've faked it with nuts and bolts (proper but not original) but don't think you can on this one.
Good luck with the job,
T

ZMAME AND TOM GREENLEAF: Well, it's taken me all this time by working on it evenings and sometimes on weekends but I finally got the doors apart and replaced the actuators and got everything working just fine. I couldn't have done it without the words of wisdom from the both of you. I can't thank you enough. W. R.
