Unhappy Driver's Door Wont Open

So of course, my first post is a problem I'm dealing with.....

Yesterday as I was walking from Subway to my 2013 XLT SCREW with full hands and keys in the opposite pocket, I tried to type in my door code to unlock the truck. After a few failed attempts and some blinking buttons later, I gave up, switched all of my crap to the open hand, and used the key fob to unlock the doors. It was then that I noticed that all of the doors but the driver's door unlocked. The only way I have been able to get into the truck ever since is by walking around to the passenger's side and opening the driver's door from the inside.

Some other observations:
  • The key pad and my code still "unlock" the truck.
  • When I was stopped at a light this morning, I rolled down the window and opened the driver's door from the outside.
  • The key fob and the door buttons will not re- lock the driver's door once unlocked. I have to physically press the lock think down.
So, in conclusion, does anyone know what I should do, other than go to the dealership and get them to fix it for only God know how much money?


Thanks in advance,
Chris

If you turn the key in the tumblr does it still lock/unlock the door?

If so, check the wiring harness between the door and the frame, for any broke wires.

If there are no broken, wires you may have joined the actuator no worky club. I got 3 of them, to replace.

I agree with above, see if you can lock/unlock the door using the key in the handle.

Next, does your electric lock/unlock button on either door work for the driver's door. Can you hear the actuator inside the door.

What kind of sub sandwich did you get.
