My door locks will not move with the key or by pulling and pushing on the lock.My passenger side lock button will lock it but then I wouldn't be able to get in.Could that be my actuators?The key won't even turn.
 
Follow this link to fix your door lock actuator problems http://jrichker.stangnet.com/Mustang_tech/door_actuator_fix/1_of_8_door_actuator.htm

Stuck with door lock actuators that don't work and don't want to pay the $50+ for a new one? Tried the junkyard ones and found that they last six months and freeze up?

A new actuator for less than $4. Fix one side for $17, do both sides for only $23. I don't sell parts, I don’t make any money off of the upgrade, I just tell you how to do it cheaply and easily.
 
Sometimes if the key wont turn, you can spray some wd 40 in the key slot and fix it. The pins get dry and worn, and hang up.

Sometimes the acutators will hang up the locks.

Sometimes the latch mechanism will get dry and hard to move.

You may have to pull the inner door panel and look at it piece by piece.
 
My drivers side door it is the lock itself the is the problem. so that is something that you might want to concider being the problem also. An easy way to check that is when you have the door panel off just unhook the actuator and try it.
