Power door lock not working properly

Hi,

The first two pics are of the entire locking system. I had to break the pic in half to make it readable, but I did overlap it so you could follow it.

In pic 3, I circled two things. First, the green wire with an orange tracer should get power when you press the lock switch on the driver's side. You will need to remove the door panel to access this. I will provide directions for that next.

What I need you to do can be done with a test light. You will check to see if power comes out of the switch at that wire I mentioned. If there is power, I have a feeling the second thing I circled which is where the wires splice together, may be the problem. On the other hand, if no power is shown at that wire, then the switch is bad.

1. REMOVE INSIDE HANDLE BEZEL
2. REMOVE COURTESY LIGHT
3. REMOVE POWER WINDOW SWITCH

see pic 4

4. REMOVE DOOR TRIM
a. Using a screwdriver, remove the 3 caps.

HINT: Tape the screwdriver tip before use.

B. Remove the 7 screws and clip.
C. Insert a screwdriver between the door and door trim to pry the trim out.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the door and door trim.

HINT: Tape the screwdriver tip before use.

D. Pull the trim upward to remove it.

If you are able to access the switch wiring without removing the entire door panel, that is fine.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the power window wiring diagram you requested. I have cut the picture in half for you to view larger. If you need anything further let Joe or I know as we're here to help. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hi,

Glad to hear you got it fixed. As far as fixing a circuit board, you would have to identify which solder joint has failed or what has melted down. They can be tricky to fix simply there is no room for error

Take care of yourself and let us know if you have questions in the future.

Joe

Hi,

That is a good question. The test light is being used as a ground path and completing a circuit. Did it light up?

Joe

In all honesty, that doesn't make sense. If it lit up, then the circuit was complete and the motor should have engaged. Are you certain it was the right pin in the connector?

Joe

Yes, that is correct. Do you know the wire color of the pin that lights up? I can try to find it in a wiring schematic.

Joe

Hello again.

If you scroll up in this thread I've attached a power window wiring diagram on a prior reply. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Danny-

They aren't meant to be taken apart. Under it is nothing more than a printed circuit board.

Joe

Hello again.

To answer your question, no. I would not advise taking apart or modifying the switch. The best tool to use when it comes to wiring issues is a Power Probe. It has way more testing capabilities than a test light.A Power Probe has a digital display and in addition to a positive and negative lead it also has a power cable that attaches to a vehicles battery. You can then have the ability by using a push button switch to actually apply voltage to a circuit or accessories to test function and get a voltage reading at the same time. Although test lights are handy this might by something to consider due to your current tricky wiring problem. I've attached a picture below of what they look like. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
