Front Passenger Door Lock

[gregory andonian]

Just noticed, that it doesn't lock, when I hit the lock button. Any ideas?

Does it make any noise when you hit the button? If not the motor is bad. If it does, the plastic connector for the lock to pushrod may have broken.(common problem)

No noise..thanks stonemiser.

Before you go looking for a motor, check the wires going to the motor and any fuses. (easy way to start)

Greg,



Does the unlock portion of the switch work? Does the passenger side lock switch work?

In a nutshell. Can you lock it by hand?

If so, then your issue is the actuator or a wire issue (Since there is no noise it is not the normal issue of a defective mounting rivet).



Remove the door panel, check the plug connection. If it is good, unplug it and check it for voltage when you press the lock button.



If you have voltage, then you need a replacement actuator..



No power, then you need to start going backwords and see where you loose the power. Could be a fuse but not likely if the others are working. Could be a relay though as often they are on separate wire banks.

I can push the button down and it locks. When I use the unlock button on the remote key chain, it unlocks but will not lock.

What happens when you use the other FOB. Same thing or not?

 

[gregory andonian]

Haven't tried, totally forgot 'bout that.

Doesn't work. And I can't open the door with the key.

 

[Kevin Palmer]

Ok, then you will need to remove the panel and check out the linkage I would think...

Thanks all. Guess I'll have it checked out.
