Door Lock System

Before making tests, battery must be fully charged and solenoids correctly adjusted. Circuit breaker is located on fuse block, and door lock relay is located behind right side cowl kick panel. Connect positive lead of voltmeter to buss bar on relay, negative lead to a good ground. With no load, voltage should read 12.5 volts; with a load (locks activated), voltage should be 11 volts. If no reading is obtained, circuit breaker should be tested. Connect a voltmeter positive lead to light green terminal of circuit breaker and other lead to a good ground. If a reading of 12.5 volts is not obtained, connect voltmeter to battery side of circuit breaker. If a reading is obtained, circuit breaker is probably defective and should be replaced. If no reading is obtained, inspect for a broken feed wire or loose connection. Check each individual door lock solenoid by disconnecting solenoid connectors. If a solenoid has been shorted, excess current may have damaged door lock relays.
