Power Door locks

evilmustang · 07-16-2001, 11:51 AM

Anyone encounter a similar problem? Yesterday I check my passenger window motor because my window got stuck on the down position. When I removed the motor and press the up botton it worked. So when I put it back in the window went back up. Now it works perfect. But after that my power door locks wont lock. They will unlock when I press the button, but will not lock. I've check everything again, but can't find out whats wrong. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem with my car. I think it is the door lock acuaters going bad.

I was thinking the same thing, but I't happens on both doors, they will unlock but not lock. Also one on the acuators is new.

check your switches on the doors arm rests

try pulling one and putting in one from the window rollup/down. all the switches are the same, so they should be interchangeable

that will rule out bad switches, after that test the wiring w/ a voltmeter at the motor, after that, replace the motor

i already replaced one of mine and getting ready to do the next once it fails...

Hey there Evil I agree with checking the switches. Mine did the exact same thing and that is what it ended up being. It is a simple 5 min. job.
Good Luck!
