Grand Voyager - power locks & window

Aug 30, 2005 5 Replies

My wife has had intermittent problems with the electric window (driver's side) and now the power locks. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. They work fine when I'm around.



Any ideas?

Probably two separate problems. The window you can probably fix by taking apart the door (obtain a factory service manual to see how to do this, it's not hard) and taking apart the electrical connections and cleaning them, and taking out the electric motor and lubing it, and greasing the parts. It could also be the window switch.

The door locks, do they work intermittently only on the key fob and always work OK on the inside door button? If so, replace battery in key fob.

We don't have the remote locking - only the inside locking. Today was the first time she noticed it not working - though it DID work again later when she tried it.

Hmm, this topic has come up a few times lately on this group, are you sure your not one of the prior posters? ;-)

The advice given was to have the dealer connect a scantool and monitor the disarm switches and trigeer the locks, apparently this is a common failure point.

Here's one guy that thinks he fixed it:
