driver door won't unlock with key


my 97 ford f150 driver door won't unlock with the key. the passenger door will, so you have to unlock it with the key, hit the unlock button inside and then walk around to the driver side. what a pain!
any help would be great!
thanks

Likely the lock just needs to be lubed. I strongly suggest you buy a can of PB Blaster at the car parts store. For about $5 you locks will work great for close to a year with just a quick blast of Blaster. I've tried other lubes (lock-ease, WD-40, grapphite...) and nothing else comes close.

Why isn't my key unlocking my car?

The most likely cause will be low or dead batteries in the car key fob. But if that doesn't solve your issue, you will need to troubleshoot more electronic issues. Besides electronic issues, if your key fob is not opening your car doors, you might have issues with your door lock assembly.

How do you reset the door lock on a Ford F 150?

Resetting Your Ford Keyless Entry.
Enter the factory-set five-digit code..
Press and release 1•2 on the keypad within five seconds..
Press and hold 1•2 for two seconds. You must do this within five seconds of completing step 2..
All personal codes should now be erased and only the factory-set five-digit code will work..

Why won't my key fob unlock my door?

Try holding the fob right next to the door handle when pressing the unlock button. If it unlocks the door, the problem may be a weak battery in the key fob, or a problem in the keyless entry antenna or wiring. The key fob itself could be defective or have a bad unlock button.

Why is my drivers door not unlocking?

A malfunctioning logic board or a break in the wire could cause problems. If the lock and unlock function works intermittently, there could be an electrical short in the system due to the plastic insulation of the wire being worn down. If it has ceased to function at all, the wire could be broken.
