Does the inside driver's door switch unlock both doors?

mr_munro

nope...the latch can lock both doors but not unlock.

no idea i take it then? lol, its got me stumped aswell...

Former User

The idea is implied by the posted diagram -- test the passenger side actuator.

mr_munro

ah sorry, no diagram comes up on my work PC...do u have a direct link?

thanks

mr_munro

now that i see the pic (im noob to these trouble shooting ideas) when it says battery source connected to the no.2 terminal, what battery source do you suggest? as in what kind of battery will supply enough voltage?

thanks

You can run a wire directly from the car battery.

mr_munro

and then just ground it somewhere on the door chassis?

^ Yes, or ground it back to the neg of the battery. Actually, you can use any 9-14V DC source ... I find a power drill battery works well and is more convenient than the car battery. However, I am suspicious of the description you gave - it sounds to me like you might have a European/Oz/etc. car? North American vehicles have a switch to unlock the passenger doors - they do not all unlock with the key (lock yes, unlock no).

You can use the frame under the dash or the battery ground terminal.

Im from australia, so yea aussie model. the only 'switch' i am aware of, is the latch inside the drivers door and the passenger door, but only the drivers door latch and key from the outside locks and use to unlock both doors.

That's what I thought. Well, Ron is on the right track with you, but I will post some troubleshooting diagrams specific to a "switchless" power lock system (ie., just the key and the latch you mentioned.)

mr_munro

thanks it will b so helpful!!

Here you are. If the actuator is bad, then it's possible you can fix it instead of replacing. Have a look anyway, at least.

mr_munro

wow where do i start lol

Start at the Troubleshooting diagram, mate.

Test the passenger lock actuator, as discussed earlier and as shown in the diagram in post #4.

mr_munro

will post up tomorrow how i go, thanks again
