Brocken locks?

I have an XLT 1999 F-350 and the locks won't lock by hitting the button either inside the truck or with the key. The key just plain old doesn't work any more, I can hit the button but nothing happens. Inside the truck I hit the button, and I can here the locks trying to lock, but nothing happens. Anybody know what could be wrong???

Thanks,
Barry

Here's a great write up, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...or+locks+fixed I used a cut down penny for the replacement personally.
