Default my door popper owns me...

well today my door popper decided to quit on me.. after i got home and was getting out i had already opened my door. when i went to reach for my ignition i accidently poped my drivers side door. it poped but right after it made a wierd noise and died. i immediatly rolled down the window and closed the door to see if it would pop or not i also tried my passangers side and no luck. i though it could have been my remote. but then i went inside and grabbed my other remote.. no luck. i also tried my emergency relay under my car that i had hidden also no luck. i know its not the remotes now. what else could it be? i bought the car with the doors shaved and the poppers installed so dont flame me for having shaved door handles.

Could be the solenoid went bad. Can you hear the relay clicking when you press the remote? If so, check the solenoid.

It sounds like a fuse or a loose wire that has shorted out. Start the process of elimination with the power wire for the system and work your way through it all the problem will most likely be simple and obvious.

do a test and run straight power and ground to your actuators. if they dont move then that's the problem. they tend to overheat if you keep playing with them. they arent made for that.

If you don't hear any sounds, the relay might be bad, or like 01accordv6 said could be a fuse. There should be a fuse by the brain box underneath the steering column (which is the place they most likely put it), and yeah, do the test like ek9folife said. But since you don't hear anything, your probably not getting any power.
