power door locks
My passenger side power door lock does not work with the keyfob or when I press the door lock button inside the cab, the only way to unock the door is to either pull on the handle or use the key in the lock. Has this happen to anyone else and what might be some of the causes of it, also would I be able to fix it myself.
Thank you

It's prolly the solenoid, or, as Ford calls it, the lock actuator.
I remember changing the one on my '90 Lariat some years ago, and it had this gigantic 1/4" diameter pop rivet (that's the shank) holding it on the door.

search is your buddy
A LOT of owners from 99-01 (the most common, but not only years) are affected by the loss of the door locks. Luckily as the forums has people from all different walks of life and careers some have the aptitude to try what others aren't willing to and then share said experience.

If that doesn't work. The part itself is always on ebay.com for around forty dollars Each. Or fordparts.com.
Or the evil stealership
