I've been having some trouble with the passenger side rear door lock. After searching here without success, I have to open this new thread.
When I bought my '95 XLT last December, the passenger side rear door lock did not work when I used the remote fob or when I used the power lock button. When the button was pressed, all the over locks locked/unlocked, but the rear passenger door did not. It just made a hissing sound. Manually, the lock works fine. My mechanic diagnosed a bad acuator in the door and replaced it in January. Everything worked fine.
Now, just two months after the new acuator was installed, the power lock doesn't work anymore and I'm back to the hissing sound once again.
I hate to spend money again on another new acuator. Do these acuators go bad so quickly? Is there a larger problem I'm missing?
Any thoughts would be helpful before I throw more good money after bad.
P.S. This forum has been a wealth of information for me as a new owner. Many thanks to you all.
