My power door locks aren't working on my 1993 mustang 2.3l. I can use the key on the passenger side door to lock and unlock, but I can't do nothing with the driver's side door. It has power going to the door locks, but they won't work. Any help?

i have similar problem only mine is pretty much backwards, my power locks work, but my key doesnt work in the door, one side it turns freely all the way around non stop and the other doesnt move at all, but the power locks work, any help for this would be awesome aswell... (not trying to thread jack just thought id post this in with his so they all kinda stay together)

PS:

Mine is a 1990

do you have power and ground going to the accutators with the switch in Unlock and Lock positions??

time to pop the door panels off and check the rod and connector at the door key cylinder on the side that turns freely and check for a bind on the side that doesn't turn.

Your actuators could be dead if there is no bind or anything caught up on the rods. Mine went bad and I didnt even bother to fix them. Its like a 40+ dollar part.

i wouldnt bother fixing mine but I've already had someone go through my car, luckily nothing got stolen, but if i dont get it fixed its just begging for someone to take my cd deck one time or something...

Yes I do. My dad tested the drivers side door and there is power going to it.

Those door lock motors have a habit of failing, either from water getting in through a broken rubber boot, or just from wear. If they're binding this way, they'll be hard to lock/unlock with a key. I've had to replace four of them.

since you have power and ground at the accuator...it's time to replace them.
