Default 98 Explorer driver door lock switch

The switch on the drivers side will not unlock the doors but will lock them. I replaced the switch and that did not solve the problem. The switch on the passenger side will both lock and unlock the doors.

I would appreciate any feedback you might have.

Default RE: 98 Explorer driver door lock switch

Had the same problem twice. Copied this from another forum, it works great. "there is a barrel between the door and frame, where the wires run through, there is a bolt on top of the barrel. loosen it. it takes awhile. the bottom part of the barrel will pull out eventually. (the bottom part is a electric conector. i don't know what you call it, but the wires are connected into the bottm part that pulls out. the wires from the door feed into the connector on top that remains attached to the door.) pull down the rubber sleeve on the bottom part, and there you will see the broken wire, pink/green for unlock and pink/yellow for lock. splice the broken wires together . not much room to work, and leave some play in the wires. reattach the bottom part to the top, and it works once again..........."
