    Electrical problem with keyless entry.

    My right rear passenger door does not comply with my keyless entry fob. When I press the door lock, all the doors lock except the one door. When I unlock the doors, all the doors unlock except for the same door.

    Before I go and try to take my door switch apart and figure this out, has anyone else had a similar problem?

    Sounds like the door lock actuator went south.

    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Yep. sounds like the actuator. Take the door panel off and if you get current at the actuator connector with a test light then the actuator is bad.

    No disagreement for me on the suggested troubleshooting, just adding a comment from a golbal view.

    Many, many of our electrical components are voltage sensitive and when something electrical starts to act up on my Marauders, the first thing I check is battery voltage. A number of one-time anomalities have been cured by an over-night trickle charge on the battery...FWIW, eh?

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll check this out tomorrow after work. The funny thing is, is I would've never have noticed it because i don't open up my rear passenger doors.

    It took someone else climbing into the car to notice it.

    I have seen the same thing only occasionally with my LEFT rear door lock. Not recently though. Will wait until it gets worse. I noticed by using the keypad to lock all doors rather than noticing it with the fob. You can hear the actuator but it's just not pulling the lock down.

    My driver door lock does not lock seldomly. I have the coverage to fix this when it does go.
