Power Locks don't work

[tkoforpresident]

Hey yall, my power locks stopped workin a while ago and now that my car's on blocks for the winter i'd like to try to fix that. They didn't just not work one day, for a few days prior to them not working they seemed to lack power, meaning they would push the lock about half way out and i would have to do it a couple times or just unlock it with my hand. Well a few days later it stopped working at all (maybe this will be helpful when it comes to troubleshooting) anyhow, where is a good place to start for fixin the prob? fuses? wiring? should i take the thing apart? i'm just lookin for a place to start and a couple ideas of where to go from there. Thanx

ALWAYS check your fuses first.


Inside the car, on the drivers side there is a fuse panel, remove cover and check for blown fuses.

Okay next easy thing to check, pop the switch panels off your door and make sure the plug / harness is on correctly.


If you have a multimeter check for voltage and ground...

so check to make sure no wires are detached or broken ect ?

and do i have to pry both of them off? basically if one doesnt work does that mean they both dont work?

any ideas?
