1998 ford f150 doors won't unlock

Asked by TheButcher927 Aug 20, 2024 at 06:30 PM about the 1998 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD Extended Cab SB

Question type: General

Just purchased 1998 ford f150 Supercab 4wd last week. I have locked and
unlocked the doors multiple times then all of the sudden today doors won't
unlock on either side. Walked back to the drivers side to try again and noticed
the passenger side unlocked and still the keys wouldn't work. Drivers side
window also doesn't work.
Sounds like it may be an electrical issue? Going to take the door panel off
and check wiring. This all may explain why the truck came with 5 Keys.

Yep, this old you could have wiring damage inside the door to body tunnel, I hope you don’t, cause it’s a nasty job pulling through wires one at a time soldering both ends and shrink wrap the connections.

Check the wiring in between the door and the main body of the vehicle. There's a rubber boot in that area that can be opened up to inspect the wires. The driver's door is the one that's opened and closed the most so that's a good place to start looking for broken or damaged wires. Jim
