Key wont lock doors. Cannot lock doors from inside car either.

The LT Brake circuit notice came on. Does this have something to do with the locking system? Is there a fuse or brake bulb that that has gone out or failed? Everything else seems to be working fine on the car.

Hey doug, if you have excessive resistance in the brake circuit the warning will come on. I would first check the brake light sockets and bulbs to make sure they are not corroded or the bulb turned dark. If they are ok, then I would replace the brake light switch located above the brake pedal. you will have to remove the driver's lower trim cover to access the brake light switch.the circuit is seperate from the central lock system.

Ford ranger passenger door lock wont lock

I think you got it just right. If the drivers door lock works, then it is almost certainly the actauator as they are both on same circuit.

2001 jetta door wont open when i unlock it

hi

it sounds like the lock or module is faulty

you will have to remove the inside door trim and check to see if any thing has come off or if anything is broken

if it all looks intact and its not responding to the inside lock or maybe just the outside key

then it sounds like the lock is faulty or something attached to the lock

Escort 55 van rear door lock wont unlock with key

I assume you are referring to the tailgate door, so what likely happened is that either the door lock has something in it like a broken key, or dirt, or rust, etc. or perhaps the mechanism has failed.
Understand these parts are made as cheaply as possible, and are easy to break.
You may need to remove the riveted cover to look inside, and you may find a plastic clip broken, or the lock mechanism spoiled, or something else.
You do not need to re-rivet the cover, unless you have a pop-rivet tool.
You can also find some small screws that will reattach the cover. God bless your efforts.

There is a manual release on the inside of the hatch door.
Somewhere in the center of the door under an oval cover plate you can open it with a screwdriver.

Driver side door lock won't open or lock using remote.

if it moves even a little bit when the button is pushed it wont be a fuse issue, you more than likely have a weak door lock actuator

Ford Expedition 2001 that wont shift out of Park

Shift Interlock System
The shift interlock system prevents the shifting from PARK unless the brake pedal (2455) is depressed. The shift interlock system consists of a shift lock actuator (3Z719) mounted at the base of the steering column tube (3514). If the ignition switch (11572) is in the RUN position, the shift lock actuator is continually on unless the brake pedal is depressed.

Thier is also the shift lock actuator ! plus wiring . You have a short to ground on that circuit . Do you know how to Find a short ? videos on youtube .
None of the power windows work ? Check for broken wires inside the rubber boot from the body to drivers door !
Videos on youtube for testing power window circuits .

Manual door locks on a saturn SC1 98' won't unlock w/ key

Try spraying some white lithium grease inside the key cylinder with a straw that comes with the new can. That should make the key turn easier. The straw goes right on the little hole on the nozzle. Best of luck to you.

Central locking wont stay open

Here's what I suspect is happening. The door locks will lock and unlock normally when the key is OUT of the ignition. If the key is IN the ignition, the doors cannot be locked (manually, key fob, or otherwise, if the system is operating as designed - prevents the doors being locked when the key is in the ignition). I've seen this problem before, but on a Santa Fe, not an Accent. The ground signal of the right hand front passenger door was lost, and the doors automatically locked. Perhaps something similar is happening in the circuit between the ETACS module and the right front passenger door lock/unlock actuator. Could be anywhere in the circuit.

ab4c712.gif These wiring diagrams may be helpful. The relays expecially may help solve this issue. As you can see, these relays are also controled by the ETACS module (Remote Keyless Entry).
