Do YOU have this problem? 🤔 2020 F350 door WON'T open WHY

[@shanerinehart7]

Maybe pressing the button on the remote a little faster might fix it. Or maybe…just maybe pushing and pulling the knob a little faster will probably definitely fix it. Once you get a little closer to the speed of sound with that knob the truck will know your serious and start working properly. 🤦‍♂️

Bruh.. its an old habit for guys that have either rode in or drove in vehicles that were from the 80's & 90's. Lord knows that method worked on a 94 Nissan Pathfinder I used to drive. So its a stuck force of habit. Kinda like banging on a remote control or rotating the batteries in it. It's an addictive habit that's worst than cigarettes. Because there's always that 50% chance of it going to plan.. or end in a disastrous mess. Pwahahaha 😂 🤣

For as much as they cost it’s crazy to be having those problems so early on. I have a 2018 and I bought it new, when it hit 20k miles my door lock actuator went out just like that. They had to replace it, luckily it was under warranty.

AROD, Ive owned Ford trucks, f150, rangers, explorers for many years (30+) and most long term. I've had door actuator issues with every one of them especially after 5 year from new. I'd bet they are the same part#, vendor for a long time.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

You know what, your probably right....

[@JasonW.]

In this case, I imagine the actuator motor works fine. The motor uses a cable to set the lock, which winds around a plastic part much like a window regulator. It cracks and doesn't keep enough tension or placement of the cable so motor does its thing, but cable goes sideways and lock doesn't get locked/unlocked.

Welcome to the club. My rear door lock actuators broke around 40k miles. At the time there was a recall that only dealt with the lock freezing (doors kind of opened themselves at hughway speeds), and didn't address the freezing also broke the plastic guide labyrinth the lock actuator cable used to connect to the lock. Those were really hard to find for awhile, as apparently I wasn't the only one with the actuator problem.

[@nwhamann]

YES SAME PROBLEM, been to dealership 3 times for customer satisfaction recall fixes, it would work for a day or two. Not a happy customer, but love the truck, purchased new actuators myself and works great now!

Is it the actuator or the wiring? My F150 was notorious for having the wires for the drivers side rear door break right in the boot between the door and jamb.
