Door locks and window problems.

[83oldsho]

I can only get doors to lock with button in back cargo area. I can only unlock
doors with button in back and master switch. Remote only works to turn on courtesy lights and set alarm.
Windows will only open and close from master switch.

ANY IDEAS of where to start testing or what it might be, would be greatly appreciated!!

Re locks: Common problems are:
- broken wires in door to body bundles
- bad splice under panel at bottom of drivers side pass door.
Re windows: Make sure that Window Lock switch is not on; broken wire(s) in door bundle.

Locks fixed

Broken corroded wire splice. Thank God for this site! I would've been searching for months.. Now, If I could just get the windows to work.

Where is the broken splice located? That could be my lock problem.... How hard wAs is to fix the splice?


Thanks,

Splice is underneath left rear door sill (4dr). It's a Pink with yellow(looks a little orangey) stripe wire that splices into three wires(same color). Not hard to fix at all.

Good luck

Look for broken wire associated with window lock switch in drivers side wire bundle from door to body. Look for Red/Lt Blue wire. You might also see it in the same area where you fixed door locks.
