Door lock.

1999 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. The drivers door quit locking with the fob or the buttons on the doors. All the others work. I have to use the key to lock and open the drivers door. What to do? Thanks

There's a very good chance the issue is with the lock solenoid. Are you comfortable with taking the door panel off and testing for voltage to the solenoid to confirm? Even better would be to run known-good power to the solenoid directly to see if it activates.

After reading other sites for answers I bought an actuator. My son is going to help change it for me. Thanks.
