Power locks and manual locks 2006 E250

Hi all,

I recently acquired a 2006 E250 Econoline 12-passenger van (previous airport/hotel shuttle) and I've been "domesticating" it for family use.

What appears to be odd to me (but maybe this is standard on these vans) is that the two front doors (driver and passenger), and the rear doors, operate off of keyless entry. However, the two side doors have a manual lock which either has to be unlocked with a key from the outside, or manually pull up the plunger from the inside.

I'd like to know if it's possible to somehow retrofit (i.e., replace) the side door lock to also work off of the keyless entry.

BTW, I am * really * liking this van! Great fun to drive, very comfortable. (Gas mileage sucks but I knew that going in!). Very pleased with this one!

Thanks for any and all input.....

I would venture to guess that the mechanisms are in the doors and might be unhooked, or an electrical problem.

Yeah.. all doors on my van have powered locks so if yours doesn't for some reason they can be retrofitted.

Thanks all...

Duh, I feel like an idiot -- it was just a loose connector. Plugged it in and...perfect. Works great.
