Yea the power door locks just stopped working. When I press the button to either lock or unlock, it doesn't matter, it only makes a clicking sound from behind the glove box. I did check the fuse and it is good, I even changed it to be sure and it's definitely not the problem. Everything else works fine. I heard that it might be the main switch on the driver side,but I don't know.

the clicking noise is a relay try checking that

bigbadxj

Both relays seem to be fine .Thanks

check the linkage in the door pannel.. it might be messed up .. and how did you test the relays thats what it sounds like to me

bigbadxj

I replaced them, It still sounds like its coming from in the glove box? Is there third relay I may have missed? and all four doors don't work with either front switch.

wow, I have been having this same issue, passenger door won't unlock with the keyless entry. I get a "errrghh" sound, but no unlock. Most others work fine.

What is the process to trouble shoot, and where are the relays to check?

I had the same thing. You can't repair them, just replace them. The noise is basically the little plastic gears runinng but not connecting to anything, thus your door not unlocking. I just took the door panels off and disconected them because I don't feel like spending a bunch of money on poor door locks right now.

I had been putting this off so I went out again today and the clicking is coming from the left relay but I did replace them new and it is still clicking does anyone have any info on this i don't know what else to check?

bigbadxj

So does everyone think it's the switches in the doors or thier any other good ideas?

athenscj5

To find out for sure, try this. Remove the door panel on the switch that is not working or making noise, whichever. Reach in and disconnect the pigtail from the power lock actuator. Then lock and unlock the doors with your Key FOB. No noise=bad actuator.

I don't have any FOB's for that XJ!@#$%?^. That is a good idea though. I'm going to go down to the pick and pull and see if I can just get some switchs.
