Hey, my passenger door lock won't work at all. Its an extended cab and It just stopped working one day. When I push the lock or unlock button only my drivers side door will unlock. My passenger side will do nothing. Im pretty sure its not in the switch and i checked all of my wires so could it be a door lock relay or something?

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Check whether the passenger lock operates normally by hand and have its mechanism and electrical operation evaluated before choosing a relay or actuator. Provide the actual wiring-test results rather than assuming the circuit is good.

I had the same problem with my '96 ext.cab. Try lubricating the lock with some kind of penetrating oil or WD40 thru the keyhole and then manually lock and unlock the mechanism a few times to free it up. This usually happens because the locking mechanism is too stiff and the solenoid isn't strong enough to move it. Hope that works.

Discussion summary

2000 Chev Silverado Passenger Door Lock

A 2000 Chevrolet Silverado extended-cab passenger door did not respond to the power-lock buttons, while the driver door continued to operate. The owner reported having checked the wires.

Reported outcome: No follow-up confirmed a cause or a successful repair.

A participant described a stiff lock on a different truck and suggested lubrication. That experience does not establish the cause on this Silverado.
