That's a new one on me. I'd see how much a switch cost at the junk yard and try it and see what happens.

already did,its not the switch,but thanks
 






Not a switch, its a wire in the black barrel in between the door and frame.

Look for a broken wire, if its to unlock, it'll be the green/pink if I remember right.

Solder it back together or it'll break again.

excellent! thanks
 






Had the same exact problem, took me forever to find it.
 






Do I get to this "black barrel" through the door handle where the switch is or do I have to remove the whole door interior?

Thanks - Kevin

i'm pretty sure what he is talking about is in the door jamb between the truck and the door where the hinge is
 






I believe he is referring to the rubber boot that covers the wires. You can see it when you open your door and look between the door and the door jam. I have seen this problem before.
