Default Bizarre Door Locking issue

I've got an issue with the locks on my 94 bird that has cropped up recently. The automatic door locks will lock, but will not unlock. Using the keyfob or the driver's side door switch will unlock the door and move the actuators, but neither will lock the doors. The passenger side switch doesn't seem to be working at all, for either lock or unlock. I've replaced that switch with no effect, and I've also looked at the driver side switch will all pins looking to be in serviceable condition. Has anyone else experienced this before? I couldn't find any threads that detailed this specific problem. Any help you guys can give me is much appreciated

Moving to Stereo & Electronics.

The first step is to confirm if you have any aftermarket electronics. Do you have any add-on security systems or key fobs?

There is another active thread with someone having a similar problem. It's at the top of the list, but the title doesn't call it out. https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...hing-else.html

Just in case anyone else has this issue, the cause was a faulty driver side lock switch. If you look at the schematic, all commands to the actuators must pass through the driver side switch, replace that one first if you're having door lock issues
