Sticky door lock!

I looked threw the search and couldn't find anything and before I tear into our newest truck I want to know what to look for. On our 02 F250 Crew cab the passenger door lock keeps on sticking on me. We have to hit the unlock button probably 6-7 times before it comes up enough to open the door. It is driving me and my dad nuts especially when we are in a hurry. It is only once and a while but getting more and more as we use the door. When we do unlock it I checked it does come slowly up just not enough. I don't get it none of our other trucks or past vehicles have done this. Thanks y'all for any help.

I agree, there are lots of people trying to explain the same thing different way. Take a look at this:

This is my thread on when I did it on my rear hatch, which uses the exact same actuator that the doors do. I hope this helps!

I am kinda confused it looks like your thread is on a completely no good door lock where as what I am running into is a problem of they are to slow to come completely up. They work just don't come up all the way so you can open the door from the outside.

I'm assuming that your problem is the same Trav. The most common failure is the resistor in the motor which doesn't permit full current to reach the motor. That makes them not have the power to completely lock or unlock the door.

When mine failed every single one would still move and make noise, but they lacked the power to fully lock or unlock the doors. If this is what yours are doing I'm confident this will fix your problem.

It's techincally simple, but a time-consuming PITA. Took me about an hour to do each door, and about 30 minutes for the back hatch of the Ex.

As far as I can see it looks easy but my dad likes to be there watching when we do the work.
