weird power lock issue

gmcjimmy96 · 04-29-2007, 12:49 AM

my passenger side power lock switch isnt working rite. I can unlock all the doors from this switch, but when i push the button to lock all the doors, nothing happens...it just randomly started doing that one day...any suggestions?

I'm going to go with the easy answer and say its probably the switch.

Does it lock/unlock from the drivers side? If it does it might be the plug is loose or you have a bad switch.

yep it unlocks and locks from the drivers side just fine....only on the passenger side do i have this issue. kinda a weird thing that only half the switch will work though, because i can unlock all the doors from the passenger side..but i cant lock them back up. im gonna check wiring one of these days and see if something came loose. if it is the switch though, where do i get another one of these??? and how much we talkin for one?

You can probably find a good used switch for less on ebay. Always check around to see where the price sits for a new/used one on ebay and at your local parts store or the dealer.
