Power door locks on 1996 Ford Van
Hi,
Planning on getting my power door locks working again, had a huge short on the right front door, the switch was melted so i clipped the wires that appeared to be the hottest about an inch from the switch, anyways, it's no longed draining the battery, BUT, since i clipped these wires NONE of the power locks work, so i'm wondering, does this circuit have to be complete or is there a problem somewhere else? before i clipped them they kind of worked, but seemed like they had a power issue or something, sounded very weak, but now they don't do anything at all, i have the wiring diagram for the switches from https://www.alldatadiy.com/ but i don't see any way to diagnose the system, |
Could you post the part of the power door lock wiring diagram here and I will try to assist you if I can?
Usually the circuit has to be complete in order for them to operate. |
Hi, thanks for your help, i sent you a private message

Could not get in with the info provided. Suggest you get some assistance on posting the section of the diagram needed.

ok, here are a few diagrams i found, let me know if you need anything else,
|
These are only the pin connections. Need the actual wiring diagram.
If the switch is melted, why not replace it and reconnect the wiring and see what you get? |

sorry, here is the diagram,
i figured it's not my problem, so i wanted to fix the others then once they work i would buy a used passenger side switch, |
i see they are very low quality, does this site compress them? the originals are nice and clear
|
The wiring and switch set-up is like a three way upstairs and downstairs hall light .
If you take one of the switches out of the circuit the circuit is now open and cannot work. Soooo, put the replacement switch in and you should be OK. |
wow, thats interesting, i found a used switch on ebay, will let you know how it works once it shows up, thanks for the help!
