1993 Buick Regal - electric door locks, my Buick driver's side door stopped unlocking the door by the switch. It was only the driver's door all other doors work fine. I changed the actuator and then the drivers door lock switch, but I was not getting any power to the actuator. I ran a temp jumper from the switch to the actuator now all the doors unlock but will not lock. Help!
did you try changing the master switch(controls all windows and locks)? i would hook it back up to the way it was and change that master switchdid you try changing the master switch(controls all windows and locks)? i would hook it back up to the way it was and change that master switch

Hey Victor , check PWR WINDOWS PWR SUNROOF circuit breaker in
Fuse Block
Right side of the IP, in the right front door opening
You don't have lock out on ?
you
Remove the door panel and unplug the connector to the door actuator. Probe the contacts with a voltmeter set on DC volts. Then operate the lock/unlock switch. You should see the voltage toggle from +12 volts to -12 volts. If you do, then the wiring, switch and connector are good and you have a bad actuator. Be prepared to start replacing all of them because they all operate the same number of cycles.
coulb be the control switch on your panel you can take the door panel off and check for loose connections and try to test for continuity. if you dont know how take it to a shop and have them diagnose the electrical. im quite sure it the switch that burnt out
ok, this sounds like either a faulty window switch from getting wet when it got rained on or a short in the wiring between drivers door and frame.
My guess that the wiring between the drivers door opening and frame---from opening and closing door---could have pinched or rubbed between door and frame causing it to ground out when starting the car making window switch go crazy-----even if replaced with new window switch wont solve this problem.
Check the wiring comming out of drivers door going to hole in frame toward under the dashboard and see if there is any pinched or rubbed through wiring there---move wires to avoid pinching and rubbing and tape with black electrical tape.
Alot of vehichles with electric door locks and windows had this problem.
Some vehichles are so bad that windows go up and down while driving and door locks locking and unlocking too----Just like a "Devil" posessed vehichle----lol
The only way to really see the problem is by removing the door trim panel. This will allow you to see if is the actuator is moving, and how far, along with noting any interference of lock linkage movement. Hope this helps.
