Someone mentioned before that when your door locks start getting "lazy" that it can sometimes be caused by the Relay going bad. My manual says its located LH shroud by the door grommet. Where is this??

 

It's behind the kick panel beside the drivers left foot.

What about a 1991 Z-28? Where is the lock relay?

I know on the 82-89 model cars it is behind the driver kick panel, but where is it on a 1991 F-body?

 

same area only a little bit higher up above the hood release cable.

Anychance on someone taking a pic of the 1991 relay for the mentally impared?

THanks!

 

The relay is a wide black rectangular box held onto teh car with 2 plastic prong style clips. If you look up the drivers side kick panel, about level with the lower dash, you should see it, it's the only relay up there I believe.
I'll take a pic of one I took the other day for you if you still can't find it.

 

Ok, I removed the driverside kick panel and looked. It's not there!! I know it is located there on the 82-89 model F-body's, but it's gotta be somewhere else on a 90-92 F-body.

Can anyone help me!

 

On the early model camaro's and firebirds it was located at the lower cut-out behind the left kick panel. On the later model camaro's and firebirds it was relocated to a higher point above the hood release cable. I know it is there because I just removed one about three weeks ago. It is a black rectangular relay and is held to the sidewall by a slide post. Give me a few minutes to check on an old relay I have and I will give you the part # for it.

Ok, the old ones are grounded by a ground strap (metal tab bolted to the inner kick panel metal).

Where and how is the newer style relay grounded?

Will re-grounding the newer style relay fix the lazy power locks?

 

Ok 1bad91z, here is the part number for the door power lock relay that is supposed to be in your car, it is 12065122. I tried to include a schematic showing its location in your car. However, I ran into some difficulties in importing it into this post. Therefore I will send it to you in an e-mail in pdf format. Let me know if have any questions. Also when you say the door locks are lazy, what precisely do you mean. Are they slow, do they stick or seem to hang, is it both sides are just one?

I had planned to e-mail the schematic to you, but since your e-mail is disabled, I am unable to do this. Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

The Trickster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Trickster, you have a PM.
