Passenger Side Automatic Door Lock Not Working

This is a cheap and easy fix.

Passenger side automatic door lock not working.

If i insert the key into the passenger side door the lock doesnt open close. An inoperative power door lock can be caused by the switch solenoid wiring problem or mechanical problem within the linkage of the affected door. Inspect the fuse that protects the door lock circuit to ensure it is not blown. The door lock doent open close with any switches on the passenger driver switch pad nor does it open with my remote.

Defrost the lock to check an individual lock mechanism work the door lock manually up and down or backwards and forwards in newer vehicles while using the auto lock button at the same time. If all of the door locks are inoperative start your diagnosis at the fuse box. Again if one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be with the door lock solenoid. Replacing the fuse will correct the problem.

Replacing it may require removing the car door panel. In most cases vaupell says it s the driver s side door actuator that breaks down because it s used the most. The solenoid is bad. It does open close when i insert the key in the driver side door.

Shearer adds that in cases where all of the locks fail to work it s likely a sign of a defective switch which triggers all of the actuators or a blown fuse. Chances are your solenoid is burned up or maybe a loose connection. A fuse is blown. All three other door locks respond normally.

If one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be a blown fuse. If the lock tries to move then the problem could be a frozen lock mechanism or a faulty solenoid. Just make sure the key is on. Have the same problem with my driver side lock i believe i need a new actuator.
