One power door lock on one side,works intermittenly.Mostly it doesn't.I pulled the switches out and checked for power with a volt meter and a test light.Got power to one swich and not the other one,although I did get power to both switches but only for a minute or so.I know they are wired together,to control both doors from one side.Can one take a jumper to the powerless switch to see if it works?Under the dash inside the door is very tight and I do not even know where or how to begin finding this.Probably beyond my capabilities.I was thinking if the jumber makes both doors work,maybe I could just splice a hot wire into the bad and make it work that way withought having to rewire everything.I do know it is not the switch or the fuse.Any ideas?Thanks

 

Sounds like you got a wire problem. Just test for power and ground at the correct location at the switches. Then test for continuity in between the switches at the wires that cross. We have the service manual in the FAQ which has the wiring diagrams. It will be your best tool in your search.

 

How do I use faq for the service manuel?I am new to this site.Thanks

 

The FAQ is just a few posts above this one. Click on it and go down to the Service Manual section on that page.

 

When I jiggeld the wires in the boot inside the door jamb,where it goes into the cab,I got the locks to work.Between the door and the cab.You think I can assume it is in the wires right there?What if I replace part of the wire say about 2 feet or so?It acts like a short.However the lock doesn't stay working.Sound to easy?Thanks

 

I can't seem to understand exactly where to find the manuel and diagrams I need for free.I searched this site and still can't find it.I'm trying.

 

I think I found my problem.I'm pretty sure I can fix it.Thank you very much.I am glad I found this site. It works!

 

I fixed it!!!Broken wire inside the boot, in the door jamb. Just spliced it back together.Thanks

 

thats good that you fixed the problem
