2008 Chevy Silverado power lock problem

I have a 2008 chevy silverado crew cab and one of the door locks doesn't move and the others start to do the same if you hit the lock/unlock buttons a few times in a row.

We have a 08 1500 crewcab chevy that all the power door locks worked excepted the drivers door. We started to look at that door power lock actuater and now the passenger power door lock does not work. Could the trouble be something other than actuaters?

It's a common problem with this year model. I experienced the same problem with my 2008 Silverado. Driver door lock stopped working so I replaced the actuator myself to save the $95 per hour labor charge from the dealer.

How do I unlock my 2008 Chevy Silverado Truck?

Slim Jims won't work on the door. There is a tool called The BigEasy unlock tool. You sneak it between the jam and door frame and hook it on the lock knob and pull it to unlock the door or push the power lock button to unlock the door.

Unlock a 2008 Chevy Silverado

This year model truck WILL allow the truck to be locked if the key fob is left inside, but not while fully engaged in the ignition. If you do not have Onstar service you will have to use a long piece of thin metal, possibly a straightened clothes hanger and work it into the upper part of the driver or passenger side door at the top rear corner. Be careful not to tear the door seal. If it's long enough to reach the power door lock button press it to open the door. If not then fashion a small hook on the end and hook the manual door lock release. There is just enough of a lip to hook on to. Hope this helps.

Probably is the actuator. Common problem. The actuator is part of the complete door latch. Hopefully that is what you got from 'Dorman'.

I have a 2008 chevy silverado crew cab and one of the door locks doesn't move

This is a very common problem on all chevy trucks for this year. The door lock solenoids are integrated into the door latch assembly, and are notoriously weak. They will work fine sometimes, others they just seem to barely move or not at all. You will need to replaced the door lock / latch assembly for the affected door.
