2000 Crew Cab Drivers Side Door Lock Question
I just finished a front door swap on my 2000 F-350 Crew Cab. After installing everything, I noticed that I can no longer unlock all the doors using my drivers side lock/unlock switch. They lock just fine, but will not unlock. When I hit the switch on the passenger side, all four doors unlock and lock.
Since both sides share the same plug, I swapped the switches from the drivers side and passenger side, and the switch for the drivers side works fine on the passenger side. The passenger side switch, however, does not work on the drivers side.
The switches work, the actuators work, and I haven't been able to find any other post regarding my particular problem. Any help would be much appreciated ��
P.S. I swapped everything over from my old doors to my new doors, the new doors were came off an XL work truck with crank windows and manual locks. So I'm working with all the same internals that worked fun before I did the swap.

Any biters? I'm open to ideas, really don't want to be doing this when the snow starts flying here soon. Even if someone knows the color or even pin location of the wire that engages when unlock is hit on the switch. I will note that when the switch is engaged to unlock, the door actuators all make a faint noise like they're trying to engage, but don't have the umph to do so. No problems unlocking from the passengers side, and as I said the switches both work on the passengers side, but neither work on the drivers side.
On a possibly unrelated note, when I roll down the passenger side rear window, the lights inside the switch located on that door all go out, only when the drivers door button is engaged. I did update all my switches to blue LEDs, which is why I originally assumed that it could be a switch problem, but have proven myself wrong.

Sounds like you either have a bad ground, broken wire or maybe one of the terminals in a plug housing pushed backwards and isn't making contact. Maybe when you removed the wiring that goes through the door near the hinge, you broke some wires? I have a 95 F250 that every once in awhile the windows and locks stop working on drivers side and I wiggle the wires at the door and they start working.

Thanks, I will check the wires that run through the door. Does anybody know which pin the wire that is hot when unlocking the doors is? If I can't find a break, I may run a new wire temporarily to see if that solves it

Old thread revive as I just purchased a 2012 Super Duty Crew cab that has the same issue as described.
Lock and unlocks works great from remotes and passenger side. Drivers side will only lock, no unlock (nothing not even a hint of trying to unlock).
