Sliding Door Circuit Test

Sliding Door Power Lock Assembly:





1. Connect one lead of a test light to the upper contact of the pillar, and place the other lead to the lower contact.
2. If the test light illuminates when the lock switch is depressed, the wiring circuit to the contacts is good. If the test light does not illuminate, check the electrical connectors at the right side cowl, check for a broken wire, or see Circuit Breaker Test.
3. With the sliding door partially open, connect jumper wires across contacts on pillar to contacts on the door. The door should lock or unlock when these jumper wires are connected and the switch is depressed.
4. If the door locks and unlocks, the problem is in the door and pillar contacts (check for proper shim at the door contact plate). If lock and unlock does not occur, remove trim panel and check for voltage at the lock motor.
