Power Locks........? PLease Help
Seems like my power locks don't have enough juice either from the inside button or my key lock to open or close. I can Hear them trying to work and sometimes they do but its getting progressively worse to the point where they don't open at all. ANy suggestions? I have an 2000 F350 with 7.3
Thanks,
James

I just went thru this with my 99. But it was only one door. The motor in the lock actuator was weak. I went to a junk yard and took some motors out of a ford windstar and replaced the bad one in my actuator. All seems to work ok now.

Do a search like Beerstalker suggested. I did the tinfoil repair on mine, worked great 1/2 hr job.Just follow the directions carefully.It doesn't cost a dime if you have a small piece of tinfoil and a little bit of mechanical skills.

Be absolutely SURE you mark the motor with a marker pen of some kind to insure you put the motor back together correct.
If you put it back together 180 degrees out, the motor will run backwards when reassembled.
Though it's a LONG read, you would do well to take the time to at least skim the entire thread before beginning. Some real good info in there.
