You have to unlock the car doors for the filler cap door to unlock. This means ALL of the doors, not just the drivers.
Connect the power and unlock the shut drivers door with your key.
Wedge open drivers door, insert rod push unlock button
if rear side door; unlock and pull handle. if boot lid; pull handle in drivers side door-well (side of the drivers seat) "door open"
no
To unlock the rear door ???just push the unlock button on the drivers side door on the in side and it will unlock all doors and the rear door also. then Just pill on the outside rear door handle and it will open., push the button 2 times to unlock all doors.
Using the ignition key, lock and unlock the drivers door. This resets the car alarm which disables the ignition. The car will now start.
On my ( 1995 ) Ford Explorer XLT the power door lock relays ( 3 relays ) are in with the tire jack , behind the removable plastic panel on the drivers side of the cargo area . I assume your 2000 would be the same . There are ( 3 ) relays : - all door lock - all door unlock - drivers door unlock
If you are referring to your power door lock on the driver's door, I know that on my 1995 Explorer XLT, in the jack storage compartment there are relays for driver door unlock/all door unlock/all door lock/ and two more relays for interior lamps and trailer park lamps.
clicking the door unlock switch on the drivers door or key fob will unlock a fuel door actuator lock that locks the fuel door. Then all you should have to do is gently push the front of the fuel door toward the vehicle and the door will swing open.
the door lock actuator is bad. it is located in the drivers door panel
pull the forward handle on lower door sill on the drivers side.
