Door lock debug
Hi all,
The day before I bought my SVX the door lock were working. A couple days later, all I hear is a click sound (the relay called timer under dash passenger). I removed the trim panel and saw that I got 12v at the actuator when the door lock/unlock button is pressed. I tried unplugging the left actuator and the right one did not work. I did the same for right actuator, and no luck. I removed the passenger actuator and put directly 12v across it. It did a spark but did not move. Could both actuators be broken at the same time in a couple of days!?! How can I just open the actuator without breaking it? Thanks |

You need to open up the lid of the actuator and look inside. Check for broken, bent or corroded contacts.

It is for a 95 with central door locking button.
I tried to pry the cover of the actuator without any luck. Any tricks? |

Undo the screws that hold the lid on.

there are small tabs on the center trim. Pry up but be careful not to break them
