Door lock and handle repair
We discovered that the door handles and locks were problematic. The automatic locking was unpredictable and the handles and locks would frequently get stuck.
We have some technicians with a lot of experience on old Ford door latches working here, so we put them on the case. They found that there were some installation errors, some fitment issues, and some broken parts causing all the issues. The tech went through both doors, adjusting, repairing, and replacing parts to get the doors to function smoothly and predictably.
Also, we found that one of the key-fobs seemed to be non-functional (possibly damaged) but the other one had a low battery. After replacing the battery, the automatic locks seem to operate properly and predictably.
