Figure 1 - The Problematic Door Lock
PROBLEM:
The door lock of your 1997-2001 Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer is not
operating properly (might work on other years and models too). If your
lock makes a clunking noise, however, it will
not open the lock all the way (NOTE: If it doesn't make a clunking noise
from the remote, then you could have another problem not covered in these
directions...the door lock must be making an attempt to unlock and you can hear
it clicking when trying to open the door). This usually starts happening
occasionally, then it begins doing it all the time in which you cannot use your
remote to unlock your door. You will usually see the lock try to pop up
when operating the unlock of your remote, however, it just won't come all the
way up to unlock.
Sometimes, you might also have a problem where the
door handle has become "floppy". It has no tension holding it down in
place. This door lock repair will actually fix this problem too (though, you
don't have to have a floppy door handle problem to have the problem with the
door lock).
THIS REPAIR IS *NOT* FOR A STUCK REAR DOOR THAT
WON'T OPEN...I have not addressed that issue...yet. It is only for the
FRONT doors...the rear doors of the 4 door models have a different mechanism
and I have not documented a fix for those at this time.
TIME & SKILL REQUIRED:
About a 20 minute job....give yourself another 20 minutes if you are taking your
time through the process. If you can turn a screw driver, you should be
able to complete this repair...there is some requirement to pop the door panel
fasteners off, but other than that, anyone should be able to easily complete
this repair with no mechanical knowledge or background.
TOOLS:

What People are Saying Regarding this Ford Door Lock Repair:
This is Why We Are Called "ANYONE Can Fix
It"...
Holy smokes ... If I didn't do it myself, then I
wouldn't have believed it. The thing that took me the longest was actually
getting the door open so that I could take the panel off in the first
place....Thanks again! I also replaced the console cover (see
www.FixYourFord.com) -- my wife was looking at me sideways as I had the
cover on the table, and then I showed it to her after I was done.

Duane,
I never thought this would work, but thought I would give it a try. I had it
fixed in 30 minutes while my 11 month old was taking a nap. Thanks again, you
probably saved me 300-500 bucks if I had taken it to a Ford dealership.
