'02 Ford Ranger...

I know this is "5.0" but i have a small problem with my daily driver and seeing as its atleast a Ford vehicle i thought i'd get by with this thread!? Anways... My problem is the keyless entry unlock and lock does not work, neither does the panic button. Second, my drivers side door lock/unlock button does not work. But my passenger side door lock/unlock button does work. And both doors lock and unlock when you use the passenger side switch. So what is the default here? Is the switch bad? Why don't my keyless entry buttons work? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

Might be two separate issues. I'd try changing out the battery in the keyless entry remote first (and clean the battery contacts) and see if that helps before you go ripping the door panel off to mess with switches.

I'll get a new battery for the keyless entry control. But doesn't it have to be the switch then if the drivers side switch doesn't work?
