Stuck Door Locks

[Kartman]

After a few months of ownership I had one of the door locks start sticking, and soon after all 4.

Hit the unlock or lock button on the key on on the door would stay locked or stay unlocked, it varied but mostly it would not unlock.

Took it to the dealer, they claimed Ford would not cover it but said they would. They replaced all 4 locks and door handle mechanisms. They claimed the problem was dirt geting in the lock and door mech.

Now, 9 months later I am having the exact same problems with the locks/door mech.

I dont buy the dirt theory, but if that is real how can you deny warrantty when the truck you market as an off road vehicle breaks due to dirt.

Anyone else had a similar problem or heard of it?

Truck is a 13 four door.

Sounds to me like an electronic issue not mechanical. My guess is a loose or damaged wiring somewhere. Electrical problems suck and are hard to find.

That was my original thought as well. However when the locks were replaced all was fine for 9 months.

it sound like there is additional strain on the motors somewhere causing the motors to burn out.

Did you get this resolved?

I'm having what appears to be the same problem. Sorry to hijack. If my trouble seem different I'll be happy to open a new thread. I'm convinced it is not electrical and is mechanical. When the problem occurs, even trying to open from the inside by pulling the door handle, I can feel a considerable amount of resistance. It actually feels stuck. Mine is a 2013 SCAB. This started about six months ago but has slowly increased in frequency. It seems to be affected by the heat, since I can now almost guarantee it'll happen mid day as temps get up 100-110 degrees.

Thats exactly what mine does. But I have not noticed a relation to the temp. I had to have the locks replaced twice and FORD wont cover it because dirt caused the problem.

Have you had your dealer take a look, loke? How many miles are on your Raptor? I'll see what I can do to help.

SCrew Door Won't Open

We just returned from ARDD and now the passenger side rear door won't open. It opened fine all weekend and then when we got home and started unloading, it couldn't be opened from the outside or the inside.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it open? I don't think I can remove the door panel without opening the door first, so I'm at a loss as to how to fix it.
