83 F 150 power lock problem

The locks (both sides) go down but not up. Is it the switch or something else? I had an 88 Ranger that had a similar problem and I believe it was a broken wire somewhere in the circuit.

Sounds like one of the door lock switches is bad (probably driver's side since it gets used the most). Could be an open pink with yellow dots (PK/Y D) wire between the two door switches.

Thanks! I know where some switches are in a junk yard. Guess I'll try that first.

If you can find some power doorlock and power window switches in a junkyard, grab 'em; they're getting harder and harder to find.

I believe that they are availible at a parts store under the "Help" section. you can check that out. I have some extra's if you want too.

Yeah, around here in mn i've had alot of trouble finding the switches. I know that you can pull the actual switch part out from the wiring harness and switch them around for testing purposes and stuff. But i'm pretty sure the parts store has both the locks and the window switches. They're expensive though. Like 16 for the single switch and 32 for teh double one for the windows.
