power dsoor locks please help!

Hey guys I just bought a 1993 f-250 diesel. The truck is great and everything but one thing I need to try to get working is the power door locks. neighter side (driver or passengerside buttons work to lock or unlock the doors). Anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? also how do you pull the cover off of the switches in the door panels? Just take the screw out of them and pull them off the door panel?
thanks,
Jimmy

anyone have any ideas? Do the doorlocks run off of a fuse or a relay?
thanks,

They run off a fuse. I had a similar problem on my 92 and found that the contacts were just corroded. I pull the switch out and cleaned it and it started working.

You should be able to tell this from the panel that opens to the fuses. I believe mine is on the same fuse as the hazards, but that may not be the exact same as yours. Check the chart on the back of the panel.

It does seem odd that both sides wouldn't be working. Do you know if the last owner had keyless entry? You might try cleaning one set of contacts to see if ti works (it doesn't take very long). If that doesn't work, then I would click on the link that Bob gave you below to see how I solved my initial problem.
