Hello,
I own a ford taurus 1999 SE. I am having a problem with my power door
locks. I have 4 power door locks and two switches controlling them on
the left and right side of the front doors. Whenever i hit the unlock
button, all 4 door locks nudge up a little bit, and when i hit lock
button they nudge downwards. I can hear sounds from all 4 door lock
motors which means they are operating.

I first thought it may be a faulty fuse but i guess if the fuse was
shot the entire system would not work. This is not the case since i
can see the locks nudging.

So please let me know what you think the problem is and how should i
go about fixing it.

Thanks a lot.
Zubin

step one .. obtain a manual (with wiring diagrams). Check the voltages
the motors are getting when the switches are applied. if the voltage is
close to 12 volts (above 11.5 volts)then lube up the locks and see if
that fixes it. also check in the diagram for the ground point for the
system..... is it clean and well grounded. If the voltage is low Does
that unit have the doors running through a body computer? if yes i
would suspect the computer. if no i would suspect a dirty switch in one
of the front doors.
