Power Locks

Where is the best place to get power door lock accuators, and what is a good price? The rear hatch accuator is getting weak, and the ones on the wife's F250 SD don't work. Any help? Thanks!

Do the penny or tin foil mod and just fix 'em.

I just saw your post count and realized you probably aren't familiar with the thread, so here it is: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...ml#post3283337

The thread started in 2006, but it's been updated over the years.

i sear this is one of the best fixes in ford history! granted some people may not have the time to try this, so buying a new one works out better. but the tin foil has kept my locks in my 2000 Super Duty working like a charm for over a year now, with no issues at all. the oem locks lasted about 7 years (which is great), and when i added the tin foil, they went back to working like new again!

i rebuilt the hatch lock on my Ex when i unstuck it. the other doors are JUST NOW starting to drag every so often, so one day here in the near future i'll be doing a rebuild on them as well!
