I just got an '01 Explorer cheap as the PO had swiped a sign down the side of the truck, broke a headlight,wrinkled the fender, broke the mirror off... all stuff i can fix fairly easily.
The worst issue that I've found so far is that the power locks are not so good. I degreased the one on the drivers side and it works fine if the door is open. If I close the drivers door, it only pops about half way up & won't unlock the door so I have to open it with the inside handle.
On the passengers side I hear the actuator woking and the lock is trying to move but - very little. I've got power, the actuators work and the locks will go down in the lock position, they just won't unlock fully.
Any suggestions ? This stuff is all new to me but I have gotten the door panels off & kinda understand how things work inside. Just not sure which parts to start replacing/repairing.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
