Power Lock Problem

My 1999 V10 E350 SD has a problem.

The power locks work perfectly from the RKE key fob, and the door switches all will LOCK just fine.

The Problem is I can only UNLOCK from the RKE Key Fob (Ignition off of course) Or I can UNLOCK manually. I can't unlock from any of the door switches, even though the LOCK function from the door switches works just fine.

Any idea's? Tried reprogramming module, jiggling wires in the door jamb, no luck.

Maybe my truck just wants me to stay longer

Any Ideas?

Power Lock Problem

Update-

Pulled and checked all the door switches, have ~11.5V on the lock side, but only ~5.5V on the unlock side.

All the door wiring harnesses seem intact. Tried a replacement switch at all locations to no avail...

Where is the module that controls the lock/unlock functions from the RKE located?

Check for a broken wire in the rubber tube between the body and the door on the drivers door.

Actuators are fine, it works perfectly from the key fob. Just won't unlock from any of the door switches.

Already checked the wiring through all the door jambs...
