You should always be able to lock or unlock the drivers door with the key as it's a mechanical system. Unless on of the rods in the linkage came off. Central locking will depend on the door lock acutuators and BECM.
2000 4.0, Swapped BECM, no keyfob. Unable to lock with key?
The BECM in my truck was acting up, so I swapped the BECM, ECU and Instrument cluster from a different truck. The new BECM came without remotes and locks, so I don't have a matching remote.
I have replaced the driver door actuator with a brand new part from LR before the winter, also the fuse box under the hood. I am fairly certain that I used to be able to lock the truck with key, but I don't remember whether it was before or after BECM replacement.
Yesterday I tried to lock the truck and discovered that I am unable to lock the truck using the key. Is this expected behavior because of the BECM swap? Or is it a mechanical issue?
I can start the truck by putting the key into the ignition, and it runs fine. Should I even try to lock it after I fix it? Will I be able to unlock?
