1997 Mercury Mountaineer front passenger door lock dosen't work?

Question

My 97 mountaineer windows wern't working figured out it was broken wires,Now all the wondows and door locks work except front door lock. Any ideas what that could be? also my electric antena sometime goes up and sometimes down 1/2 way while the motor contines to make noise. Any mechanics out there?

Answer 1

Well, the antenna is on a ratchet/roller that slips when there is too much resistance in the antenna mast.
Try some sewing oil, 3 in 1 oil, or wd-40 on a paper towel to clean and lube the antenna.

As far as the lock, I'm afraid you will need to remove the door pannel on that one.
The drivers door gets the most use, and sometimes the wires come loose.
