Drivers door lock stopped working

Anyone with new gen Superduty have the door lock stop working? I have an appointment for the dealer but they can't get me in till end of December.An then who knows of they will have parts available... Just wondering if there was something I could check or do in the mean time. Drivers door doesn't lock or unlock with the fob or the door button. Could be intermittent, I just started noticing if happening... Just have to use the key I guess ..It's a 2020 F350..

What he said ^ is about all you can do unless you want to come out of pocket for the repair. There is an FSA out for power door lock actuator failure. That could be your problem.

My driver door lock was intermittent for a while with the fob. Now it just doesn't work at all. The other 3 doors work off the fob but I have to manually lock the driver door and then use the key to enter.
Made an appointment to have it looked at during my last oil change/tire rotation. Of course then the problem was intermittent and they couldn't recreate it. So no fix. I guess it was easier to run with that story than to pull the trim panel off and see if anything was amiss.
So screw it. New truck is scheduled to be built so this one will become someone else's problem.

Of course this is the same dealer that offered me $42k on a trade. Got $55k someplace else. Go figure. Must have had more lucrative work on the schedule that day that they couldn't be bothered to check the actuator and bill Ford for warranty work.
Mine has stopped working via fob completely for a couple of weeks now. Lucky for them that Ford didn't send me a survey about this particular appointment.
