this,unfortunately is a major headache with fords!their lock motor's output shaft corrodes because the rubber accordian seal falis/desintegrates with age.only cure is to use pliers to pull on lock knobs or disassemble door and replace motors.i'm not sure if you can just disconnect motors from linkage and make them manual.i will come back and edit post later.
