Looking for some help on figuring out why my power door locks will not work from either switch. I'm not getting power to the lock switches or relay. but the fuse is not blown and there is power getting there. A few months ago they started to be intermittent and when they did work, they would lock slow. I checked the actuators by jumping power to the system and they all reacted fine. I just can't seem to find the source of the problem. I even made sure my grounds were ok. Please help

Sounds like the driver door window switch is bad, they are wired in series, I believe, so if that one goes out, neither will work.

All of the power windows switches work fine. I tried swapping the power door lock switches and made no difference. Also tried using the passanger power window switch in place of both of the lock switches and no difference. Anyone have any other ideas?

Probably a short, why don't you just run a new power wire from the fuse box to the switch.

If you don't have remote entry there is a power lock relay located at pass side kick panel. The O/BL wire should have +12volts provided fuse 25 is OK. BK wire is ground, Y/R and W/R feed the switches.
If you have remote entry there is no relay, remote entry module takes its place.

bk4293, I'll try that. Thanks. horseydug, I replaced the relay already, but I'm not getting power to it. I wish I had the location of the relay before I started cause I was searching everywhere for that thing

Check under pass seat re wiring damage, also behind pass kick panel re corrosion on 4 pin electrical connector with orange wire. This wire is the +12 feed from the fuse.

I presume you mean one side of fuse socket has +12volts.

Yes, the the fuse is getting power, but the relay and lock switches are not except to the illumination of the switches (U and L light up when running lights are on).

Illumination comes from dimmer switch, separate circuit not relevent to your problem, but good that something's working.
