this has been going on for some time now and it's getting a bit old. i push the lock button on the remote, the horn beeps but the doors don't lock. try it through the button inside and nothing. it will unlock though. the actuators don't even make a noise. has it happened to anybody?

 

so the power locks dont work whether you use the remote or the window switch?

check and see if there is power going into the lock actuator when the switches are being pressed. also, check all fuses.

 

if it had no power, it wouldn't unlock though. this is just the lock part. i keep thinking that maybe something is obstructing the lock button on the door, so it shorts out every time i press it. but that would have blown the fuse by now.

 

could just be a bad switch.

 

I would take the door panel off and look at all the rods and just clean everything out and re grease everthing. I know the little rod clips always break and are a pain in the rear but new ones are just a couple bucks. Give that a try. I had everything out of my door and now everything works great.

 

mmmyeaaah. i guess i have to. i hate doing that. all the plastics are old and i always break a tab or two. i was hoping someone was gonna let me borrow the easy button. i went to staples, but they were out.

 

while you got the door apart check the wiring in the door jam...they break there all the time.

 

yeah, i had to do that once before because the driver door speaker quit working. the junction for tweeter and speaker was corroded.
while at it, what would cause the driver door to not lock or unlock by power. i can hear the actuator, but nothing happens. it has been doing it since i got it and now rear passenger side door started doing the same. this is before the lock button started crapping out.

 

grease the door locks that helped on mine

 

i'll try that. i figured they probably don't wanna move because the doors are starting to get out of alignment. i gotta get a grease gun anyway. you know i have not put grease in my new track bar ball joint. ha ha. ain't it fun to do stupid stuff. i thought about it just the other day.

 

Ya just clean it all out and look at the wires and rods. Does the door lock from the inside when you do it by hand? I would just check it all out and clean and re grease. Its free. lol Let us know what happens

 

it still locks manually and about one out of 50-60 times it will power lock.

 

Ya tear it apart and just clean it and make sure nothing is blocking it or anything. It shouldnt take to long. I did both my front doors in an afternoon. Keep us posted on what you find.
