Hi there, new Jeep owner, just got a XJ 99 Classic.

I have read a lot of posts about power locks not working along with the windows or mirrors but all of my windows and both my mirrors work. I can hit both passenger and drivers side lock switch and the motors on the locks go, but they do not lock the doors. I can see a little movement in the lock switches but no actual locking. Any ideas of what this might be?

Thanks for any help.

 

Hey, if you are sure that the motors are going then I would try lubricating all of the locking mechanisms. They might have gotten sticky over the years, so what I would do is pull off the door panels (which in my 95 isn't hard at all, just a few screws and then pry the plastic connectors out) and then use like a dry lubricant or something of the sorts. I use a white teflon spray I believe, and it works pretty well for stuff like that. Good Luck!

 

Thanks for replying, ctrick98. I'll give that a go and hopefully it'll fix it. Thanks!
