So I picked up a remote unlock key fob at pull-a-part, my truck didn't come with one the po didn't think it had remote unlock, I did the program steps and after 8 turns of the key the doors locked unlocked! Yesssssss, used remote 6$ programmed it,yesssss it works first time unlock drivers door, push again, pass door unlocks press, lock all doors lock, press unlock and, bamm.... Both doors only half unlock. Repeatedly.... Now I'm puzzled. Wait 5 minutes and repeat ........ Exactly the same results...... Ok I know very rarely will I ever use the remote this fast like this but what gives? I thought about taking the door panels off and lubing all the lineages but it almost seems like a power issue? Any thoughts?

 

I wonder if the actuators are wearing out. My new to me F-250 has a fob but it barely tries to move the locks. I found out the actuators have an issue with a cheap part going out. They can be rebuilt but it would be a lot faster to just replace them, they don't cost much as long as you don't go to the Ford dealer.

 

Thanks man, I'll go look that up right now.
