Power door lock not working
On my 88 DeVille, the power door lock (Viper remote) on the passenger side does not work. I have to use the key to open this door.
What is involved in repairing this problem? Thanks |
RE: Power door lock not working
does the lock work if you use the switch on the door instead of the remote? if not it could be loose wire or bad switch which isfairly easy to fix

RE: Power door lock not working
Just checked, and the only way I can unlock the passenger door inside is manually. The power switch on that door will actually lock all the other doors and unlock them ... but not that door. (The manual lock button does not move.)
I can unlock the passenger door by moving the manual button, but that's it. In other words, the power switches on all doors work except the one on the passenger door. That switch will lock and unlock all doors except the one it is on .... What am I looking for in regards to a replacement part or repair? Thanks for your help! |

could be a bad wire,loose wire,or possibly the electric motor but i doubtit. my guess is most likly the wiring.

92_Daddylac,
i have no clue as to what is inside that door panel. my 1st instinct be to check the mechanical gizmo that activates the locks, and i be expecting a solenoid that may well be fused as onecool stated above. these models use a motor in lieu of a solenoid? =============== theatreman, i hope you have a voltmeter or test lamp. i find such tools as usefull as the screwdrivers. . |

Actuators/solenoids for GM cars are pretty much all the same from the beginning of time. You can get them on line for as little as $18. Door panel removal, drilling rivets is a pain but you can do this repair yourself.
