I was looking at this post:

and I thought to myself, wow, what a good idea to fix. So down to the garage I go. Well, when I ripped th kick panel off, ,I found not what was pictured on the other post, but a little black relay box just sitting there. No screws, or that metal strap.
Are the 91-92 cars different maybe? Should I replace the relay looking piece instead?

 

If u have a plastic relay then there has to be a wire coming off of it to ground. See if you can find it and make sure its making a good contact. If the ground is not the problem then try replacing the replay. They're only a few bucks.

 

Keep in mind this is a PRE 88 type setup. In 88 GM changed this like they changed all kinds of other stuff too. My 89 iroc has a small black box the plugs into a mess of about 6 wires. No ground that I can see, it must have a ground integrated into the harness. I had an alarm installed the power locks would not work, or have not since I purchased the car. This was because there was no relay. I went to the junkyard and picked one up. They worked, but very sluggish. Those parts in the door get to gummed up it takes a few good cleanings to get them all working great again. Just thought I would post this as I saw someone asking about it that had a 91 car in their sig. Our cars are different. I was going to pull the relay out of my 86 to fix the problem and found out the hard way that they are different systems........ Hope that helps

 

Cool thanks. I had a feeling that the newer cars were different. I think this week I'm gonna go and get another relay to see if that is the problem. I feel like I have a different generation car cause all this stuff is different. . Oh well, thanks for the replies guys!

 

Mine was a little lazy when I first bought it. I simply removed the door panel and lubed the hell out of the rods and pivot points . It now has that good ol' clunk we all know! Works like a champ.
