this was the best video I've seen on repair to a vehicle in general. good with instructions, shows all the proper components in detail with and the close up with the Camara when needed. thank you sir.
Anytime David
This was very helpful. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out the problem. Wish I saw this video earlier. You saved me bro. Thanks
Well - you stuck it out and fixed -it so all is good
Thanks for the video. Saved me tons of trouble. I had one broken wire and another that was cracked. Fixed mine in about 15 min.

Unbelievable how common that happens. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks - happens in lots of makes
Just the video I needed to see. Had four wires broken in the same rear door. Fixed! Thanks.
Glad it helped Devin - Cheers from Canada!
Wish I had watch this before I ordered my lock actuator. My dodge Durango has this problem. Its doesn't unlock at times. Since I changed the actuator the lock rod doesn't fully pop up until the second try at unlocking it. I will check the wires as you instructed. Thanks for sharing!
Better than 50% chance there is a broken wire or two FOUO
awesome vid buddy. Thanks for the help
Thank you! Just fixed mine in 30 minutes. 5 wires broken!
Excellent - cheers!
Great information, thank you very much!
wow, i'm so glad i stopped here, saved me a lot of time thanks
awesome!! same problem on my 2003 cummins quad cab. Already wasted money , but now I know. thanks!
Anytime Art
Thank you! great video saved me a lot of $$ and time! Keep up the great videos!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing! I will check as I am having the same problem with my 2002 dodge ram 1500
Very common problem
Nice video. My 1999 GMC Yukon has the same problem. The power windows work but the locks and exterior lights stop working two months ago. Going to try this and see if it works. Before this video I was scratching my head
Great - let me know how this works out for you - same design on lots of cars and trucks - I always check this first - cheers!
Does soldering pose an issue with the brittleness it introduces to the wires?
i have a question. i have a 2009 ram 1500 trx4. i had just bought tow mirrors for my truck with the turn signal and puddle lamps. i have factory power heat, do you know how i can get the puddle lamps and turn signals working?
So the wires in the door were all good in my Durango, are there any other wires to look at? Or do you think it’ll be in a different spot? After I assembled everything the door doesn’t lock automatically anymore like it used to so I think it’s a wire just not sure where.... thanks
Nice video. Thanks for taking the time.
Anytime Jeff
thank you so much sir !
Great video, repaired 6 wires and back to working order.
Glad it helped Ben - cheers!
Excellent Man same Issue with My Dodge Ram 2500HD 5.7 Hemi Magnum Thanks For The Post

thanks, great tips, good video!
No problem
EXCELLENT TH-cam VIDEO!!! 2008 buick allure rear and passenger locks not working from main switch and remote
Hope it helps - Cheers
Hello thank you this is a great video and it is just what was wrong with my driver side rear door. After fixing six wires yesterday I thought this could be the problem with the drivers door. So I pulled the loom back but no broken wires. Now what the problem is, is that when I park and turn the key off than open the driver door that should unlock the other three doors but it does not. Also sometimes the horn will work while driving other times the hore just dose not work. Is there a relay for this or is it something else? Thanks again
Vic - you'll need to get a wiring diagram to troubleshoot those other problems - also check settings and disconnect then reconnect the battery for a few minutes - Chers From Canada!
Nice work buddy.... did you just connect the wires and used electrical tape? Just curious
Yep
Great video and information, Mine has been haunting me for years. I will check out mine very soon. Thanks!
Great - let me know what you find - cheers!
Took care of mine over the weekend. Every wire was broken or about to be. Spliced/Soldered all of them. Works fine for now but existing wires seem brittle. Will probably need to get new harness/s moving forward.
2003 Ram 2500, 5.9 Cummins, I bought new and now have 326K on her...

@@Fed-Up_Hallelujah, no doubt. I just repaired everyone of the wires on my 2002 Ram Quad Cab 1500. While my repair job was good, those wires will break again. Just wanted to get mine repaired so I can sell it and honestly say, everything works.
hi, good video,,i have a problem on a gm meriva,,master door locks itself,removed battery and it still half locks with one pull on handle and fully locks on two pulls,,,must be a mechanical problem i think,,but need to look,,any help appreciated,,rgds
Disconnect the power door lock from the lock itself then try the door lock and see if it works properly - if it does than the power door lock is the problem - do it for each door
Its the same problem with dodge nitro? Power lock not working on my suv. Thanks !
It very well could be Kathy - pull back the rubber cover and have a real close look first
Thanks
Great job on the video & information. Question: 2006 RAM 2500 5.9L Laramie, where the power door locks all stop functioning, and the chime when the engine is turned off will continually sound until the door is closed. I reset the power door locks so they once again work by following manual instructions, until I once again turn off the engine, and it goes back to the same fail mode. Any idea what causes this?
check for poor grounds and get a wiring diagram
@@carquestions Thanks! I have the service manual pdf for the wiring. It's now as of late acting more like a connection issue.
Great video.
Thanks - cheers!
My Nissan bluebird sulphy rear window is not working. How can I fix it? Also the central locking system is not working. Please help
nicely done and good explanation,but my door will not open so i can fix the problem!!
Then you have another problem with the lock you need to fix first
Did you crimp the wires back together or solder or electrical tape?
either way - but solder and shrink wrap are best
thanks for the video
No problem
Does this apply to a 2006 buick rainer cxl want do anything front are back. Back will lock but front want.
Very likely - I've seen lots of makers with the same problem
I have a 1998 Dodge Grand caravan.... Door locks don't always work. They always unlock but not always lock... Is there a central place that controls all four door locks.... I could use some help with this.... thanks....
check for a broken wire that doesn't look broken on the outside - also you can try applying power directly to the motor to see if it's the problem or it's wiring related
I'm gonna check mine , I got a used 2008 a few weeks ago we noticed the back door doesn't power lock, but everything else is working. I have to fix the power sliding door on my 07 caravan every few months , wires keep breaking
Wires broken for sure - let me know how you make out
Thanks for the video, I was troubled, I had reviewed everything, thank you. Ricardo from Chile
No Problem Ricardo glad to help - Mark from Canada
Mark
Thank you again
so what you did to the wires to repair them?
I'll answer this question at 3pm today on my live stream so tune in or ask more questions
Much obliged
No problem Ven - Cheers from Canada!

Sorry I noticed the push pin was put back wrong. Good video but if it is important you should have put the push pin top right of the key hole.
what if all doors are locked and when driving it makes a locking noise like it wants to lock but that one door doesnt lock?only stays lock if i push it with my fingers and unlocks when i pull it
Faulty TIPM, faulty switch - hard to say with that one sorry Dino
Hi... my issue is my doors lock ,then unlock and front lights come on at the same time ... all on it's own ... help!!!
you have a TIPM problem - google it
I have a 2007 honda civic. I have remote start in it. one day I pushed the remote start by accident and then pushed the button again to shut it off and now three of the windows don"t go down and the power locks don"t work. does anyone know what that could be
Remove the remote start and all its wiring - it could be a fire hazard if wired incorrectly - have seen this before
My grandson pushed the child safety lock while the door was open. We have not been able to open that door ever since. Can you explain what to do or do we need the mechanic? It is the back seat opposite the driver's seat.
Sharon - owner's manual is your best friend here - not knowing the car I'd use your power door looks to unlock the door - open from outside and lock near the latch on the door - there will be some tiny lever or other thing - listed in the manual - that you have to flick one way or the other to return it to normal - let me know how you make out - Cheers from Canada!
my window in the down , is it hard to do
Mark - you'll need to lift the window up and jam it in place any way you can.
Sir my safari strome has same problem to unlock left side rear lock when unlock or lock by remote help me
help me
Check for damaged wiring at hinges - also test for power at power door lock solenoid
The engineer who designed this wire loom, should be fired! Flexible wire, like that used in an extension cord, would easily have prevented this problem. I enjoyed your video, and the comment at the end, where you said, "just sell the truck", really made me laugh! Thank you for taking the time to create this "how to" video. Very informative.
Anytime Kevin - btw it wasn't an engineering decision to build it like that - it was the accounting dept
What if all of the locks don’t work?
I have a 2008 Subaru Forester, and after I purchased the car, the seller told me "Don't lock the doors with the key fob or with the key." I have to leave my car unlocked for now until I can fix it. What would cause the doors not to be able to be locked with the key? I am afraid of being locked out of my car if I try to lock it manually. Can you tell me what the problem might be? Thanks
OK try this - roll all the windows down, get out of the car and lock all the doors with the remote and test if all the doors fail to unlock or lock - then try the key - if nothing works you can always reach in and open the door - if the remote and key don't work then there are broken parts in the door - maybe because of a previous failed repair or break in
Thank you for your quick reply. I will try this, but only with a car locksmith near by. I am thinking it needs to be reprogrammed or it may be the actuator. I will try your suggestion first. Thanks
No locksmith is needed - the windows are open and the inside door handle should work - also the key is all mechanical so its not a programming issue if it doesn't work it is a mechanical problem
Thank you
Once Job bro
About how much would that cost in a shop ?
Depends on your area Marion - a couple of hours anyway - cheers from Canada!
Just sell the truck... classic. 😂😂
LOL Jerry - that's what my brother does. Cheers from Canada!
Power rear sliding window stopped working
hi, I have the same issue. Were you able to fix this problem if so how
hi where are you located?
Near Cambridge Ontario Canada
@@carquestions Too bad. I have a 1987 S10 Blazer the PDL and the rear tailgate lock that works off the same front door switches all do not work. The rear hatch glass works, but that is on a different switch. I wont be doing any of the work myself and I do not want a local butcher poking a bunch of holes in my harness to check things and play guessing games. The Blazer has been garage kept since new and only has 62K original miles on it. I am in Eastern Tn.
I think there is a relay near the steering column I am hoping I can start there and just try to plug and play
Thanks for the info!! I have an 06 3500 MegaCab with nothing put wiring problems! constantly fixing this truck! Dodge sure makes one hell of a shitty truck!! the only part of the truck that has never giving me a problem in the Cummins Engine! heading out now to fix both left and right door wiring! I took it to the dealer and they had no idea how to fix it! they also broke both left front and left rear switch mounting plates! they never admitted to breaking them so I had to go out and buy new ones! Dodge SUCKS!
If its a Dodge it will always start and run - everything else might be a problem though
Just one word maintenance
You look like an older Mike Holmes lol
I get that a lot - cheers!
I'll say it right here, what a shitty design by Dodge. Those are absolutely the wrong wires for that application, they should have been more flexible. That being said, this video is spot on. If you have an older Dodge Ram and are experiencing electrical issues with any of the doors, this is where you need to start.
thats bro it worked for me thats .
Great - cheers!
excellent cheers
Why hell they wire threw door with cheap wire's. I prefer a sensor or something.
Agreed - what they need is a better flexible connector
just sell the truck...words of wisdom!
Look like allá wires conections Made un china city por material
Blame the supplier for ordering low quality
Um philips is not the star
Shaped one its the plus shaped one
Thanks for the correction - should have edited but didn't
Like your last comment "just sell the truck" 👍
Cheers from Canada Gary!
@@carquestions having issues with my drivers front window, power to the switch but doesn't open or close. All others are fine. 2013 Ram 1500
@@GoneBroke check power at the motor when switch is pushed - if it has power you have a bum motor
Thank you very much it was very helpful I didn't try it yet but I'm going to I'll get back to you your video seemed very helpful and get right to the job so it's easy for us dummies
Let me know how you make out Don - Thanks!
Well I got it all apart but when I was taking a trying to get the clips for the wiring harness couple Clips broke on me so now I got to replace the whole thing anyways but I keep looking to buy one and all I can find is 7 plugs and the Dodge Journey has 9 plugs
I just wasting time here. You left out how to repair the wires
