Seems that their is a short in the wiring some place that causes the fuse to blow. It impacts the door locks, theft sensor, auto seat adjust and many other items. It is the number 20 fuse in the fuse box and it is just a 5 amp fuse. The dealer who worked on it charged me $500.00 and didn't/couldn't fix the problem. The World Ford in Gulf Breeze, Fl in now out of business. I wonder why!!!!!! Can anyone here give me a permanent fix for the problem. Someone told me that it's in the door wiring harness which gets weak with use on the drivers door.

Had theft sensor replaced by dealer for $500.00 but it still continued to blow the 5 amp fuse under the dash. In my manual it's fuse number 20. When it blows the power seat and door locks fali along with the theft sensor on the dash quits working. Seems to be a short in something. Can anyone help!!!!!

I have power locks on my vehicle. When I hit the lock and unlock remote, the front passenger door fails to respond. It also doesn't respond to the drivers door control buttons on the door panel.

you know, this is my first FORD and maybe my last. I've had my eye on an '03 SVT MUSTANG with the blower. My Ford explorer before had a problem with the DOOR AJAR issue, which the prev. post gave you my fix, this truck is having a REMOTE/DOOR OPENER issue. I've looked at both fuse locations:( under the hood and under the dash by the driver side) and both fuses are good. I've checked the batteries charge and it rated at 3.1vts. does anyone have another idea to check?
