Default Power locks and windows

Hello there guys i some help with wat would i need to fix my power locks and windows. I cant lock my doors and i can only roll down the window using the master switch on the driver door. I think its the fuse box under the dash but want some input first because we all know that fuse box is a pain to get to and when i try to lock the doors i can hear the switch trying to lock the doors.

What year is your truck? What body style?

The power window master switch issue is pretty common. You can jump it.

If you hear the power locks trying to work then the actuators are likely bad, or gummed up.

2 or 4wd does not matter. 2 or 4 DOORS does.

The actuator should work.

When you say "actuator" do you mean the door lock itself or the switch panel?

The locks and windows are two different systems but do share a common ground. G307, it's located on the driver door pillar, just above the floor. If you follow the wiring for the seatbelt switch it'll be right there.

Does your power mirror work? It's on the same ground.
