Power Door Lock Actuator: Testing and Inspection

Ensure battery is in good condition before performing the circuit tests.

To determine which latch is faulty, check each individual door for electrical lock and unlock or disconnect the latch connectors one at a time, while operating the door lock switch. In the event that none of the latches work, the problem maybe caused by a short or a bad switch. Disconnecting the defective latch will allow the others to work.
