I cannot open the door to my 2004 Ford Escape with the key or the remote. Has anybody got any suggestions?

Sounds like the rod came disconnected on the lock assembelly.

You can take it to the dealer or a locksmith or if you have some experence you can try it yourself.

Sounds to me like the lock motor is seized. This will definately cause the problem you're describing. Pop off the door panel and disconnect the rod from the motor and I'll bet it'll open with the key then.............

Had the same problem with left rear door. Now have the same problem with back hatch.

They use a relay to lock and unlock the doors. I believe it wears out just after the warranty expires.

Ford probably specified it to last about three years. Basically, we're screwed for the part and labor for all five doors every three years...
