I have asked about this a couple of times & so have many others.

The door locks are just plain lazy & work when they want to. Most people seem to think that the actuators are all bad, I couldn't see how all 5 actuators would go bad. it just didn't make any sense. Anyways after thinking about this for a while I tried spraying some WD-40 into the lock mechanisim on the side of the door where it latches. After doing this my locks started working better. I did this one more time & now all of the locks work just fine. No more issues.

Why are the dealers charging hundreds of dollars to repair this when some WD-40 will do the trick? Give it a try & see if it will work for you. Make sure to give it a couple of good sprays.

 

Thats why we like to call them "Stealerships"!! Lol

 

Just trying to suck you dry

 

I'm glad it worked for you, but I still don't see how spraying the latches will loosen the actuators.

 

Don't know what exactly it loosened up but in my case it's working like a champ!

It's worth a try, either it will work or you will just be out .25 cents worth of WD-40.

I know it is very common for the door ajar message to come on in my other car (lincoln mark VIII) Many of the guys on that forum use WD-40 to correct this as well.

 

Spraying WD40 on the latch frees the latch that also contains the locking mech., and freeing up lock and latch the actuator does not have to work as hard.

 

That makes sense.
