Ford Focus: Door Locks don’t work HELP!

Can you be more specific? If you were able to check fuses you must have been
able to enter the car. Are the power locks refusing to lock? Unlock? When
you say the "key will not open them" are you saying that the lock mechanisms
actually prevent the keys from turning in the door locks? I don't think such
a thing is possible.

I have the same problem.

What I believe he is saying is, that the push buttons on the doors and the
keyless entry remote will not activate the actuators for the locks
themselves. The trunk button or the button on the remote will not activate
the trunk actuator.

Checked all my fuses and they are good. This is an issue I need to get
resolved. If the fuses are good, then the posibility of the K.E. module
going bad. I have already re-seated the harnesses and checked the ground on
the unit.

I can get into the car by all doors except passenger side and that is
the one that stays locked all the others do not lock at all. The only
door I can manually lock and unlock is the driver side door. The
back two I cannot even push the lever to lock. I took apart all the
door panels except the passenger side and everything seems to be
working. ***(late last night)
I found a Control lock alarm module thingy behind the glove box and I
think that may be the problem. *** till I find out the cause any
other suggestions will be helpful. I hope this helps.

the fuse for the power door locks is on the backside of the fuse holder.
when mine stopped working I ended up unbolting the fuse holder from the
vehicle and turning it over. there I found the fuse for the door locks.

The locks are controlled by the security module. The could be reprogrammed
or replaced, but I'm pretty sure would only be available at a dealer. Good
luck.

Keyless entry is behind the glove box piggy backed on top of the ECU. A
black box with 2 or 3 plug harnesses into it.

No, not fixed yet.... Going to drop the fuse box from it's mount and check
the backside.

I have somewhat similar problem.. Sometimes especialy in the cold mornings,
the keyless entry don't work. I can luck/unluck the car (all 5 dors) from
the passenger side with the key. When I use the key on the drivers side
door, it only opens or lock itself not the other 4 doors. The dealer said
that it was the central lock control unit that was gone bad and no repair
was availabe to it, only the replacement (pricey!). I kind of got used to
it but sometimes it is really annoying since I need to go to the passenger
side door to luck the whole damn thing!
