Default Power Door Locks Help!

I recently notice in my 06 screw cab that my driver left door lock wasnt locking/unlockeding with the clicker. It would work off and on, now today both rear doors were not working with the clicker, so i opened my driver door to hit the lock button manually and they still didnt work! I locked the doors with my finger and when in the house. When i walked out i clicked the remote and sure enough both back doors were working fine. I thought it might have been the door lock on the back driver butt after the episode today with both doors.. I'm lost. ANy suggestions???

Your battery is probably going bad. Ford is very picky about running on full power even if it starts fine.

Just a guess but I think they mean the clicker battery.

Really? I took it as the actual truck battery. The lock unlock button inside the truck also didn't work when the back wouldn't open. Don't see how that could effect the normal switch if its just the clicker.

It could be the power lock acuators, I am having the same problems and I have a brand new truck battery. Apparewntly it is a common problem. I ordered the acuators yesterday so hopefully the problem will be solved soon.

OK didn't see that your interior lock buttons were not working as well. In that case they may mean the actual truck battery.

Alright guys. So no luck. Went to best buy, the guy tested my accuators, and they tested and came up fine. The battery tested fine. And the crappy part is they work off and on. Any other suggestions? He said all the electical in the door is fine.

I replaced my actuators and now they work perfect. I did it myself in my driveway. It took about 3 hours but was well worth it. The parts cost me $60.
