    Hi raymondmader, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? Are you measuring the voltage with the lock disconnected? The only way for the volage to be low would be a load on the circuit. The diagrams are available at autozone.com.

Check voltage at the 20amp locks fuse. If good, check voltage coming out of door unlock relay. One of the locks is likely pullig down the voltage due to partial short in solenoid coil.

SOURCE: My 2006 Yukon tailgate will

I have the same problem. This is a faulty actuator switch according to GMC which controls the tailgate and the hatch window. My 2006 has 90,000 miles on it (I purchased new). Warranty is not an option and cost is estimated @ $600.00 in Arizona. As far as I am concerned, it is safety related issue and should be a recall since there isn't a mechanical way to open the tailgate or window as an escape route in the event of failure.

SOURCE: Need diagram for plug wires from motor to cap??

The best way to get a good diagram would be to get a haynes book from an autoparts store. They often lend them out for a small deposit. Depending on the motor i could give more information.

SOURCE: 2000 GMC Sierra passenger door won't lock

The Actuator is not functioning anymore, check to see if there is a fuse for it first. If that is ok then remove the actuator and test it outside using some wire and your car battery to see if actually moves or doesent this will tell you if you need a replacement.

SOURCE: 2006 GMC Yukon Denali XL Rear Hatch & Glass locks not working

Could be the latch mechanism for the door is sticking. You could try using some white grease on the latch and the contact where the latch hooks to. You can purchase the grease from most auto parts stores. You will not need to use alot. Just apply a small amount to the mechanisim and then work it in using the manual handle. Then open and close the door several times to feel the "action". Then apply a little more and repeat. This should loosen the latch and get it working again. Also make sure that none of the tension springs have come loose on the latch. And check the seal around the door and make sure it is not pinched and has a proper fit.

Gmc yukon denali reduced engine power stability system disabled

I had the same problem in my Yukon Denali And after 4 throttle body's, replacing gas pedal, rewiring the grounds replacing sensors, took it to not one but two GMC dealerships who were useless they can't fix their own trucks they're not the brightest !!!! After thousands of dollars I found a mechanic very familiar with this issue you want the solution it will cost ya 500$ for me to tell ya!! Just kidding I know how frustrating this problem is okay here is the fix the problem is these electric throttle bodies are GARBAGE!!!!!!! Don't matter what u do or what u replace it will come back on unless u convert your electric throttle body to the old cable throttle the actual fix was 900$ but I spent thousands and thousands trying to fix it!!! Please save your money and tell ur mechanic u want to convert to the old cable throttle!!! Gmc is well aware of the problem but won't fix it for u cuz they're useless

How to check the alternator to see if it's charging on 2003 yukon the volt meter dose not move off of 9 volts

They have expensive tools and equipment to test alternators but you can get by with a simple digital volt meter. With the volt meter on DC voltage attach each lead to the corresponding terminals on the battery. With the engine running and all the electrical loads on (such as the head lights, radio, defrost, wipers, radio etc). the voltage reading should be between 13 and 14 volts. If you actually only have 9 volts then the alternator isn't charging and you'll have to look in to that more. The truck wouldn't be able to start or run very well with only 9 volts so i'd be willing to bet the gauge is bad or possibly a wiring fault.
