Lock Actuators

[samrjr0044]

My car wont lock or unlock. When i push up or down on the button i can here a little click under the steering wheel but the doors dont unlock or lock. Im going to get some swithches at the junk yard to see if that is what it is.

do this.

take off the door handle....the switch is there of course.

you will find 3 wires connected to the switch....

the wire in the center is a ground wire. tap that wire to either the other 2. if it does the same thing but doesnt lock then its not ur switch.

then if it does nothing, wrap a wire on a ground point, like a good gold screw and not paint....then tag one of the wires to the left or to the right of that center wire. if it does do something then that means that the middle wire has lost its ground and its a super easy fix.

if it aitn ur switch it can be the door motors themselves either unplugged or just dead
