Ford Transit Side Door Lock Problem

Pretty embarrassing in a parking lot if anyone else is around.

Ford transit side door lock problem.

This allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle doors without actually inserting the key into the door handle. Most ford vehicles now come standard with a keyless entry remote control. However you can still set off the alarm while attempting to open the power. Ford has announced a rare regional recall concerning doors that may not close properly.

That whirring noise is loud. I have the same problem with my 10 xlt wagon driver side sliding door power lock. There are lock rebuild kits available from ford the problem is you require a key to unlock so the barrels can be removed from the main door lock assembly you have 2 options 1. How to get into a transit when the key will not work.

I removed the inner door panel and lock and it does seem as though something inside the power latch lock mechanism has worn out failed. Many ford vehicles also provide an open trunk feature.
