Sometimes Power Locks Dont Work On One Door

Replacing it may require removing the car door panel.

Sometimes power locks dont work on one door.

Then check for power at each door switch. Power door locks can break down over time because of a worn out actuator. This is a cheap and easy fix. A fuse is blown.

Replace the key fob. Replacing the fuse will correct the problem. Inside each of your car s doors is a hard working motor that locks and unlocks them with each push of a button. If you seen battery voltage operated the switch and check for power coming into the control coil on either the lock or unlock relay.

Go to a dealer and they will. If one or more power door locks fail intermittently the cause is almost always bad electrical connections. Actuator usually to blame for broken power locks. Again if one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be with the door lock solenoid.

Note though that some types of intermittent failures can be extremely challenging even for professional technicians to find and repair so if an intermittent fault is suspected repeat all resistance and continuity tests on all wiring while vigorously wiggling the wiring until the fault is found and repaired. If that doesn t solve the problem you may have a faulty key fob. The solenoid is bad. The switch provides power to the door lock solenoids.

The power door locks are all inoperative or a single door lock is inoperative. If one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be a blown fuse. To lock the doors the switch provides voltage to the two terminals of the solenoid. The power door locks utilize individual solenoids in each of the doors that activate the door lock mechanism.

You don t want to be kicking yourself later because you missed something so obvious.
