Interior lock/unlock buttons not functional

[Rangerdanger33]

Has anyone experienced their interior door lock and unlock buttons going completely dead? Neither driver side nor passenger side buttons do anything. I have to use my key to unlock doors. I had the dealer check the electrical, and they said everything was fine. I messed with the lock settings in the computer to see if thst fixed it, but nothing. I know I've used them in the past, now they just don't do anything. Any ideas? Thank you much appreciated!

Dealer said everything is fine even though they clearly do not work??

Sure did so before I go back there and have them look at this again I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something in the settings of the computer.

Do the rear door lock switches work? Seems highly unlikely they would all go bad at once, probably an underlying cause.

none are working at all. I have the setting to unlock all doors when I push the unlock on my key and that works fine, but when I'm in the truck and it's running I can't do anythinf w the locks unless I use the key. Craziest thing I have no clue.

Does the light under the locked switch light up when the doors are locked? If not, then they're not getting power. I had my door panel off at some point and didn't get the switch fully seated and this was the case for me.

They will go back and forth between lit and not lit but even when lit up they are not working.

You've mentioned checking computer settings several times. Have you made changes in forscan?

I don't know what forscan is...

Jared, just a thought. On my previous F-150 I had to push many of the fuses into place as they weren't properly seated from the factory. There were a lot of 150's like that. Maybe that will the culprit. If not, I would make the service writer at your dealer sit with you in the truck, and show them. That way they can't come back with the dreaded "operating normally". If they won't do that, I would take it to another dealer if you have one close by. Good luck.

I will check that out maybe that is the problem. Thank you!

Just push down on them. If they aren't seated you can feel them slip into place. There were at least a half dozen in my previous F-150.

If that's not the problem, and they work on and off, I would bet the farm they you have a loose connection or a pinch somewhere in that section of the wiring.

Fingers crossed my friend.
