Automatic Door Lock

Mar 07, 2007 3 Replies

Hi all,



My door locks are working except for one, the back left one. What could be the problem? Is there any way to fix it. The other locks pop up when I use the keyless entry. But, this one doesn't. If I open the door from the inside it opens.



Any input would be great.



Thanks, Gisela



The most common source of a problem is the wires that lead from the car to the door at the hinge side. You may need to take the door panel off to do some testing.

Model and year?

My locks are vacuum operated. Checking the wiring wouldn't help you then...

Do you hear the door lock pump running for a long time? Might be a vacuum hose going to the door has become disconnected. I sometimes lengthen the hose to stop them from coming apart.
