The RKE is controlled by the SJB - smart junction box ! Fords BCM - body control module .
Principles of Operation
Power Locks
The SJB controls the power lock/unlock feature of all of the vehicle doors, including the liftgate, to lock or unlock based on the input received from the door lock control switch, the keyless entry keypad or the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. Power locking and unlocking of the doors function independently of the key position, vehicle speed or transmission position. The smart junction box (SJB) activates internal relays to supply the correct voltage and grounds for the door lock actuators.

Your best bet would be to take to ford dealer or some other qualified repair shop .
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Lock/Unlock Control - Unlock
The RKE transmitter feature provides lock/unlock functions independently of key position, vehicle speed, or transmission position. The RKE transmitter feature provides a 2-step process for unlocking the doors. Upon receipt of the first request for unlocking the doors, the RKE control feature requests the SJB to unlock the driver door only. If another unlock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE transmitter feature requests the SJB to unlock all the doors. This feature can be changed to global unlock, so that all the doors unlock on the first press of the unlock button. To toggle between the 2-step unlock and the global unlock press the lock and the unlock button on the RKE transmitter at the same time and hold the buttons for 4 seconds. The turn signal lamps flash to confirm that the feature has been toggled.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Lock/Unlock Control - Lock
The RKE transmitter feature requests that all the doors be locked when the lock button is pressed. On any press of the lock button with all doors closed, the SJB provides 1 flash of the parking lamps. If any door is ajar, no flash occurs. As soon as the last door is closed, the SJB provides the flash of the parking lamps. If 2 presses of the lock button are received within 3 seconds, the horn chirps once, and the parking lamps flash twice to indicate that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE transmitter feature requests the SJB chirp the horn twice without flashing the parking lamps to indicate it locked all the doors but 1 or more doors are ajar. When the key is in the ON or START position, the parking lamp flashes and horn chirp confirmations do not occur.

All locks not working ?????

• The doors do not lock/unlock using the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter

• RKE transmitter battery
• RKE transmitter
• RKE transmitter programming
• Aftermarket system
• SJB

• Go To Pinpoint Test H .

Turn your key to the run position 8 times then stop on the eighth turn in the run position, all the door locks (lock buttons move up and down) will cycle through one time,. You are now in the programming mode. now hit the lock button on each key transponder/remote and turn key off. The vehicle should then start if not repeat you may have missed a step.

Lubricate all servos ,, use button inside car a few times , replace batery on FOB .

Mine did not have the keyless pad problem - but replaced switch after checking it with ohm meter - showed switch was electrically stuck in unlock.

Roll down the windows then lock the vehicle.

After that go to passenger side an attempt to open from inside. Alarm should go off if any.

Hi. the door actuator must be acting weird and needs to be checked. I suggest you take a look at it and check also the wiring of your door.

A common problem with these are that the power door lock actuator freezes, and wont let the door unlock all the way,or the latch rusts up and again wont let door open, see if the lock arm is going up and down all the way, if not then try grabbing the lock with pliers and pulling up and then opening the door, or pull and push a few times then try to open the door, good luck.

are you sure the lock out lever is in its correct position (small lever you can set to locked or unlocked), had a problem with it slipping to the locked position on a stratus a few years back,

try uncovering the door side panels and start greasing up the door lock mechanisms, this will ease up the locking. but if it doesnt work still try replacing the power lock mechanisms. hope this helps

check master door switch/grounds and out put power= if all ok then look at GEM module.
