Default power door lock problem..Wierd one guys

Ok sooo the last few days have been hot ones ~70 degrees.
After a long day at work my power door locks don't work, Untill I drive for about 10 mins with the AC on... Weather its the alarm key pad or any of the power buttons in the jeep it didn't work.

OK, weird, the only thing I can think of of is A/C not only cools it dehumidifies. I guess I'd take a look for rusty wires, corroded contacts etc...

Also would try other switches other than the drivers lock/unlock to see if that helped lead me anywhere.

You might try cleaning the connectors and use some dielectric grease on reassembly.

Sorry, I meant try the other lock/unlock switches other than the driver's, not other switches in the driver's cluster. If the passenger's works then you can likely narrow it to a problem inside your door. You will want to pick up an electrical diagram to be sure switches are not wired in series for some crazy reason though...quite unlikely I would think.

if its a drivers side switch problem i believe none of the others will work they need that one to relay it

No it was both sides, I know my drivers window lock button doesn't work sometimes. Seems like I should replace it
