I have a 97 Del Sol VTEC and for some reason my power door locks do not work, and nor does my rear window. I suspect it is a relay I don't have a voltometer just a test light, I wanted to know if there is a relay for that where is it located. If need be I'll pick up a voltometer. Also some other things that don't work that are also electrical that may be related or not is the 3rd brake light does not come on at all. I have no brake lights when I hit the brakes, but the rear lights come on when I turn the headlights on, and my power door locks do not work.

FUSES!...the power locks work off a reverse polarity...they ground out to activate.

Until you get a voltmeter, you can take your door panels off just to get a head start and inspect the wiring. Look for any pinches, breaks, or even something not making good connection. This can also be related to the rear window.

There is a few possibilities for the brake lights.. The first easy test is if the horn works, you know the fuse is good since these circuits share one fuse. Then you can test for power at the light plugs in back of the car while someone steps on the pedal. It could even be the bulbs, being that they are dual filament. GL

Have you done anything to it recently or did all these problems just accumulate over time?

No These problems were all present when I got the car. Also teh horn does not work, I thought it would be a simple fix for some of it but it wasn't I noticed teh fuse box was loose when I checked it I tightened it up but to no avail, I'm not sure what the chances of having a bad fuse box is but if that is a possibility then I'll replace that also.

so what happens when you replace the fuse for the horn/brake lights? does it pop again? its possible for fuse boxes to go bad, but very rarely does it happen.

The fuses aren't popping at all.

So all fuses are good, and still nothing works.. Sorry bud, im empty.. Chilton and a multimeter are going to be your friends.

Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the motor for the rear window? I ran thorugh and replaced all my fuses anyway still no luck, I'll move to Relay's next and see where it takes me. Also I bought a multimeter, is there any way to check the relays?
