Power Lock = Dead

My power locks were a little lazy but other then that they worked fine, I masked them up while I painted the interior and under the tape they still worked.

I was a little rough getting the tape off, and then a few days passed, now the power locks do not work.

I am wondering if they finally just died since they were already lazy.

I pulled the tape too hard and disconnected something

I blew a fuse.


Does anyone have some advice for me to troubleshoot this?

If you have taken off the relay, and tried your locks, they won't work. The relay is self-grounded and needs to be mounted for the locks to work. I found that out when i took off my door. I wanted to test to see if i got all the wires hooked up before i put everything back together. Pressed the locks........... nothing. Had me puzzled for a while. Mounted the relay back and it was fixed. But that was the problem with my locks. I don't know if you messed with the relay or not. But maybe this will help.

Does it try to lock and unlock or does nothing happen when you press the button. Mine were also lazy and all i had to do was clean up the latch and regrease it and now they are like new.
