so i got into my truck the other day and my power locks dont work. the passenger side will lock the locks but wont unlock them, and the drivers side wont do anything. i checked the fuse and its ok. i took off the door panels and cleaned/checked the switches. what else could it be?

 

I had the same problem and it was the switch itself

 

How did you clean the switches? I always use 220 grit emory cloth on the contact points. You can't take them apart, but you can put a strip between the contacts and sand the oxidation off. Cleaned the passenger side last summer, was out of 220 and ended up using 2000....talk about a long process. lol

 

I just went to the local pickandpull, and grabbed a new switch. well, new to me anyway.

 

let us know if it works. If it doesn't, I would take a glance at the wires behind the fuse panel. I have found that the power window wires can melt easily, in which case will cause a break in the wire somewhere.

 

yea i sanded each of the contacts down with sand paper. but how could the passenger side unlock it if the wires melted? wouldnt that blow the fuse? and if i got new switches, where do you disconnect and connect the new ones? i dont remember seeing a plug.
