Chevy power door locks quite working?


orangestew

Question

Where do I begin trouble shooting? The other day all of the power locks quite working in my 2001 Chevy crew cab. Never relized what a luxury it is to have power locks until you have to reach into the back seat and unluck the door.

I checked the fuses and they all seemed ok. How do you know when they relays are bad? I pulled out all of the relays and reseated them and nothing happend right away and then just when I had given up the locks started working again. They worked for about a day and now they have stopped again. What else can I do to trouble shoot this problem? I would think it must be something electrical for all the door locks to stop working at once without any warning? Is there another relay or fuse that I should be looking for other than the obvious ones that are labled for the door lock?

Anyone ever have this problem? Help??????

I am not an expert here, but with it working intermittently I would start looking for something loose somewhere. That and maybe pulling your relays out again using contact cleaner to clean things out a bit.

It may be the Driver Door Module. or DDM. I Have a 2003 Crew cab, and it has been replaced twice. I had the same symtoms, except the mirrors were the culprit, not the door locks. If I remember correctly, it is all one unit in the driver door.

Good Luck.

The first step is to check fuses. There are three that run these. TBC fuse in the under hood block, mirror/lock fuse and door lock fuse in the interior fuse block. If these are fine the next step is to hook up a scan tool and check for codes in the body control module. This is a fairly complex system as far as checking out (there are thirteen wires for this system just coming out of the fuse block).

Looks like I got it figured out. Replaced a relay after a process of elimination. The cover to the relay was even cracked and would get very hot. Replaced it today and so far has be been working just fine. In the owners manual the relay was labeled "Rap#1", whatever that means.

Thanks for all the replies and ideas guys.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
