A few weeks ago my rear passenger doors and rear cargo door wouldn't unlock or open (even from the inside) - almost like they are jammed. The front doors will open and close, but must be locked and unlocked manually. The remote thingy will unlock the front driver's door, but won't lock it.
So, I take it into a Ford dealer. They spent all day trying to diagnose the problem and the service advisor says he has never seen anything like this. So, at 4pm, he calls and says they had to trace through the electrical circuit and found that my assessory module had a short in it. They didn't know what caused the short, but they would have to replace the module ($380 for P & L) before they could trace the circuit any further. So I say, if I authorize this repair, you replace the module and you keep going with this "tracing the circuit", you could then find something else?? "Yes", he says, "but we don't know what has caused the module to short out". So, I picked up the car because I was uncomfortable with the answers I was getting - they didn't seem logical to me and I was afraid that after they put in the module, they would find something even more serious. They charged me $80 for the diagnosis. So, now I'm thinking of going to another Ford Dealer for a 2nd opinion. But I could end up spending the same amount getting "opinions" as the initial repair would have cost.
It's getting to be a real hassle, not being able to open the back doors or the rear cargo door, and I'm stumped.
Has anyone ever heard of this problem?
