97 Explorer Power Door Lock/Mirror Control Switch

97 Ford Explorer XLT

Power door lock switch on driver's side will "Unlock" (depress switch to left), however will not "Lock" (depress switch to right.)

Also, rearview mirror control will move both left and right mirrors Left, Up and Down but NOT to the Right.

Is there a separate actuator or fuse for the "Right" side for these switches?

No, there's only one power wire that feeds both. Your switches are bad, but the lock problem MIGHT be in the opposite switch depending on exactly how that vehicles locks are wired.

Door lock problem could also be a broken wire in the boot between the door and the jam.
