I'm such a bonehead...I wasn't looking under the metal. I found the solenoid...it was a pain in the arse to remove...but once I did....I opened it up and found that the gears were jammed up. I cleaned the connectors (they were covered in grease) and I re-aligned the gears and then re-assembled it. That took about 5 minutes. Then before I re-installed it. I plugged it back in to test it out with the remote....worked perfectly! So I just re-connected it back to the lock mechanism and voila...done! I saved myself about $200 that I would've paid Ford for a new solonoid and the labour. THANKS A LOT EVERYONE!
