I have a 2002 Ford explorer XLT V8. My door locks recently stopped working, including all switches to lock and unlock, and the rear glass hatch lock. My alarm comes on when I hit the buttons on the remote, but the key pad and switches dont do anything. There is a click coming from a harness that is above the rear passanger seat belt so when you use the remote and the switches so I know power is getting to that point at least. Was not having any issues leading up to this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Welcome to the forum!
There was one Explorer owner that I recall had very similar symptoms to yours (although I don't recall if he could hear the relay). I provided him the wiring diagrams and he ended up finding a broken wire somewhere near the rear seat. I think it may have been the generation prior to your 2002, but not sure. I think it was where the wires transitioned from the sill plate to the wiring channel under the 2nd row seat.
If you are comfortable reading wiring diagrams, send me a private message with the request and an e-mail address for you and I'll send you the PDFs from the factory service manual for the remote keyless entry and locks.
