2012 Equinox. Door locks operate intermittently (once every few days), so it isn't a wire or a fuse. My bet is that it is a relay or the body control module.

Did you hook up a professional grade scan tool an check BCM codes ,view live input data for power locks .
Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
• Driver door lock switch--Provides a switched voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) for both lock and unlock switch activations.
• Front passenger door lock switch--Provides a switched voltage signal to the BCM for both lock and unlock switch activations.
• Door lock relay--Located in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block and controls the locking of all doors and liftgate.
• Door unlock relay--Located in the I/P fuse block and controls the unlocking of the passenger doors and liftgate.
• Driver door unlock relay--Located in the I/P fuse block and controls the unlocking of the driver door.
• BCM--Class 2 module which requires programming when replaced
• Reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors
• LOCK/MIRROR 10 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power for the door lock switches and relays.
• DR LCK 20 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power to the relays.


DTC Descriptors
DTC B3125 00: Left Front/Driver Door Only Unlock Circuit
DTC B3130 00: All Door Unlock Circuit
DTC B3135 00: All Door Lock Circuit

DTC B3140 00: Driver Unlock Switch Circuit
DTC B3145 00: Passenger Unlock Switch Circuit
DTC B3150 00: Driver Lock Switch Circuit
DTC B3155 00: Right Front Lock Switch Circuit

The relays in the I/P fuse box are not listed because you can't change them so why show then . They are PCB - relays Printed circuit board relays , soldered directly to the circuit board inside the fuse box.

You best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop. I would say the vehicle has a lose connection somewhere . Ground ,


My bet is that it is a relay or the body control module. ??? Then you would be wrong Take it to a professional before you start replacing parts it doesn't need .

2007 Buick Lucerne CXL: Cooled seats not working. LIghts come on, temperature adjusters work but the motors under the seats do not come on.

Air Circulation
When the heated/cool seat switch is pressed to initiate operation of the climate control seat (CCS) system, cabin air is drawn through the heated/cool ventilation module air filter, then directed through passages in the foam of the seat cushion and seat back to the seat's occupant. In order for the CCS system to operate to its optimum performance, it is crucial to have unrestricted air flow through the system. A dirty or restricted air filter, the blockage of an exhaust air duct, a misaligned heated/cool ventilation module, or incorrect foam installation of the seat cushion or seat back will all have negative effects on CCS operation.
Heated/Cool Ventilation Module
Each heated/cool seat has 2 ventilation modules, one located under the seat cushion and one located in the seat back. These modules are controlled by the climate control seat module (CCSM). Each ventilation module contains a thermo-electric device (TED), a temperature sensor, and a blower motor. The TED and temperature sensor are mounted downstream of the blower motor. Each TED consists of a circuit of positive and negative connections sandwiched between 2 ceramic plates. Each ceramic plate is equipped with copper fins for heat exchange. The air flowing past these fins is either directed as conditioned air into the seat cushion and seat back, or directed into the cabin as waste air.
A TED is essentially a solid state heat pump that is used to heat or cool the air supply to the seat cushion and seat back. When voltage is applied to a TED, one side releases energy as heat, while the opposite side absorbs energy and gets cold. When the polarity of the current flow to the TEDs is switched, the hot and cool sides of the TED reverse.
During the following climate control seat system description and operation, the TEDs, blower motors, and temperature sensors will be referenced independently even though they are all packaged together as a module.
Climate Control Seat (CCS) System
The CCS system consists of two heated/cool ventilation modules and one climate control seat module (CCSM) that controls both the driver and passenger heated/cool seats systems. The CCSM is mounted below the front passenger seat cushion. It receives power from both, battery positive voltage and ignition 3 voltage.
Once a CCS system is activated, cabin air is drawn through the seat blower motors and directed across the fins of each of the thermo-electric device (TED) located under the seat cushion and in the seat back. The air is either heated or cooled as it passes over the TEDs. This conditioned air is then directed through channels in the foam of the seat pad and through small holes in the seat cover to the occupant. Once the system is activated, the CCSM uses a set of algorithms to control the temperature of the selected heating or cooling modes.
Your best bet is to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop an have it diagnosed .

Where is the fusible box

Your vehicle is equipped with several circuit protection devices. Most of them are located in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) located in the left side of the engine compartment. There is also a circuit breaker for the power seats located under the driver's seat and a circuit breaker for the power windows located under the dash in the left kick panel area.

Before you get started on whatever it is that you are trying to fix, please review these articles:

PO380 and p1316 what do thies coads mean.

P0380 - Glow Plug/Heater Circuit "A" Malfunction
Bad glow plug. The glow plug system is used to assist in providing the heat required to begin combustion during cold engine temperatures. The glow plugs are heated before and during cranking, as well as initial engine operation. The engine control module (ECM) controls the glow plug ON times by monitoring coolant temperature and glow plug voltage. The California Glow Plug system has eight individual glow plug supply circuits between the controller and the glow plugs. If the feedback voltage from the controller to the ECM is not within range, DTC P0380 will set.

- The glow plugs are commanded OFF and the glow plug feedback is more than 2 volts. or
- The glow plugs are commanded on and the glow plug feedback is not between 5 volts and 6.2 volts.

Keep in mind that the "wait to start" light only comes on while the voltage is dropping in that circuit. This should only take 3-5 sec's. If it takes longer, refer to your "Likely problem" you listed above. That would be the Heater Module. If your glo plugs stay on, your batteries would be dead in no time. If any of your plugs go bad, they would each be listed on the reader per cyl 1-8. If you need to change the Module,


P1316 - Injector Circuit / IDM Codes Detected.
This code indicates that codes are stored in the IDM

Possible causes are as follows:
- Injector(s) or circuit(s)
- Open or shorted IDM enable circuit
- Open/short in EF circuit
- Open/short in FDCS circuit
- IDM relay
- IDM powering circuits
- Failed IDM
- Failed PCM

Check your Injector Driver Module wires, circuits 821 (Brown/Orange) and 818 (Grey/White) between the PCM and IDM. On the IDM side, the connector pin numbers are 17 for circuit 821, and pin 4 for circuit 818. You should check for high resistance in that circuit, short to ground, or open circuits. If wiring checks out good, you may need to replace your IDM. It's not uncommon for water intrusion into the module, due to its mounting location. Also check the engine wiring harness where it routes up over the driver side shock and/or driver side valve cover. That code is either a key-on/engine-off or a continuous memory code.


Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

Front passenger side and rear drivers side brakes are locking up...I have noticed that it is usually initiated when I apply the brake with more pressure.

These operate together as a circuit.Your front drivers side and rear passengers are the other circuit. These are controlled in your master brake cylinder by a metering and proportioning valve.Sounds like it needs to be serviced and/or replaced.This is NOT something to be doing yourself unless you are very handy.

Let me know if this helps. If not, let me know.

Circuit Protection The fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering column.
Fuses are a one-time circuit protection. If a circuit is overloaded or shorts, the fuse will blow thus protecting the circuit. A fuse will continue to blow until the circuit is repaired.

Main fuse box located on driver's side to the left of the steering wheel, above the brake pedal.

Principles of Operation
Power Window Control
NOTE: Battery power and ground must be removed before disconnecting the GEM connectors to avoid setting false DTCs.
The driver power window one-touch down operation is controlled by the generic electronic module (GEM). This feature functions only when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY positions. The GEM determines ignition switch position by monitoring the key-in ignition, RUN/ACCY and RUN/START circuits. The one-touch down operation is requested of the GEM by momentarily pressing the driver window regulator control switch DOWN for 62 ms to 320 ms. The GEM uses the initial voltage input from the down switch to begin the one-touch down operation. If the voltage input was less than 320 ms, the GEM will maintain the voltage supply to the motor down circuit. The GEM will maintain the operation until:
  • seven seconds expires.
  • motor stall is detected by monitoring the current draw.
  • a voltage input is received by the GEM on either the up or down switch circuits.
The ground for one-touch down operation does not pass through the GEM. The ground is supplied through the driver window regulator control switch as with normal operation. If the GEM continues to see voltage on the down circuit for more than 320 ms after initial activation the GEM will not effect operation. The down circuit through the GEM is a direct connection to the motor in its normal state. This allows the driver window regulator control switch to control the motor for normal operation.
The passenger window motors are hardwired directly to the window regulator control switches.
