Default Driver Door Won't Lock

Does anyone have any ideas where to begin to check the driver side door lock that will not lock? Even manually when I push it down it won't lock and the button on the door it will not lock but the passenger side works fine. Thanks!

This happened to mine. At least in my case, it was a result of the doors sagging, the passenger side door would no longer lock. Then again, I have an 87, so, older car... Might want to look into it.

Just found an even better site for the replacement part MUCH cheaper - A1AUTO

This is a power door lock actuator that mounts inside the door. It is designed to REPLACE a broken or missing power door lock actuator.
Specifications

* Electric operation
* Correct electrical connection
* Various size extension rods to allow best fit
* Direct bolt on
* Built to strict quality control standards
* Installation instructions included
* Designed to correct earlier failure problems of the original Ford units
* Superior quality at less than 1/2 the cost of the dealer

We have noticed that there are many inferior quality door lock actuators on the market. We have researched other door lock actuators manufacturers and are only selling what we believe to be the highest quality, best fitting, aftermarket actuators available. So don't be fooled by cheaper made imitation door lock actuators. Go with superior quality!

This power door lock actuator is a great replacement and has substantial cost savings over a dealer power door lock actuator.
