I hope you are having a great start to your day. I was wondering if a bad door lock relay would make the door locks cycle on there own while driving or while the 98 safari is just sitting in the garage with the engine off. Your help is very much appreciated. sorry about the spelling. Have a great day. :-)
If you have the key fob on your person, that is a lock or unlock button.If you have the key fob on your person, that is a lock or unlock button.
On a 1998 Ford Explorer , fuse # 18 , 25 amp , is for the drivers unlock relay , all unlock relay , and all lock relay
Your 1998 F150 has 3 relays for your power door locks : an all unlock relay / a driver unlock relay / and an ALL LOCK RELAY I'm guessing that the ALL LOCK RELAY has failed I'm sorry but I haven't found the location of the power lock/unlock relays on your F150 yet ( does anyone know the location of the power door lock / unlock relays on a 1998 F150 ? )
There are two relays. One is Lock Relay and the other is Unlock Relay. They are located under the passenger seat
If you are able to unlock the doors but not lock them I would suspect the " door lock " relay located in the jack storage compartment . There are relays for door unlock / door lock / interior lamps / driver door unlock / and trailer park lamps in the relay box. The door lock relay is one of the larger relays , located in the bottom left position ( looking at the picture ) good luck !
The door lock/unlock relay is located behind the I/P on a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. The relay is at the RH shroud just beside the center access hole
Aux Relay Box #4 is in the rear driver's side removable panel with the tire jack.This Relay box holds the Door Lock / Unlock relays (ice cube type). It also holds the Driver Door Unlock Relay and the ACC Lights Relay (rectangular relays).
un- unlock
In my owner's manual for my 1995 XLT it shows a Body Compartment relay module # 5 around or in the jack storage compartment area. It shows relays for door unlock, door lock, driver door unlock, interior lamp relay, and trailer park lamps.

In the fuse panel on the end of the dash, visible with driver's door open, location # 18, (25 amp fuse) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sorry, my mistake, you asked for the relay location, not the fuse location for the relay ! The relays for door lock/door unlock/driver's door unlock should be in the jack storage compartment.
The power lock relay is located under the dash to the right hand side of the steering column. There are actually 2 relays. A power lock "lock" relay and a power lock "unlock" relay. The relays are all the way to the right of the relay center (one over the other). I have the same problem. My 1994 started locking spontaneously. I made the mistake of leaving it running and locked myself out. Fortunately, I had a spare in the house. Anyhow, I pulled the switches out of the doors and swapped them without any changes. I started blowing fuses as well. The power locks would lock the door and I could not use the switch or the key fob to open them. I had to manually unlock them. If your doors spontaneously lock, change the power lock "lock" relay. Most likely it is the cause of the problem. The relay is sticking and drawing power until the fuse blows. I hope this helps your problem.
