Power door locks

[TerryS]

Hi Everyone! It is great to be on this forum!
I have a 2001 Explorer XLT with power door locks. Last weekend the power door locks began to give me problems. I can operate all locks properly with the key, and with the door power lock/unlock buttons & key fob & keyless entry, I can lock all doors, but when I use the power unlock buttons on the doors, the key fob, or the keyless entry pad, only the driver door will unlock. The passenger side doors, rear hatch, and driver's side rear door will not unlock using the power lock system. But they lock okay.

for me i had some problems but it was with both, but it could apply to yours as well, so i shall share

the lock solenoids needed to be oiled because they were tough to pull... i need to replace those sometime... but oiling works temporarily... hope this helps!

Sounds like the GEM module could be going south

@RickOTR Ah, sounds probable, i havent had it go wrong, but there's a good chance of that as well
