Power Locks: Description and Operation

When a Door Lock Switch is activated in the Power Door Lock system, both doors will lock or unlock in unison. Each lock can be operated manually. The locks are operated by reversible Motors. The Door Lock Switches operate the Motors by applying a voltage to one of the terminals and a ground to the other terminal.

Battery voltage is applied to both Door Lock Switches at terminal "C." When the LH Door Lock Switch is moved to "LOCK," battery voltage is applied to both Door Lock Motors from the GRY (295) wires. Both Motors are grounded through the TAN (294) wires, the contacts of the LH Door Lock Switch, the WHT (194) wire, the contacts of the RH Door Lock Switch and the BLK (250) wires to ground G302.

When the LH Door Lock Switch is moved to "UNLOCK," battery voltage is applied to both Door Lock Motors in the opposite direction from the TAN (294) wires. Both Motors are grounded through the GRY (295) wires, the contacts of the LH Door Lock Switch, the LT BLU (195) wire, the contacts of the RH Door Lock Switch and the BLK (250) wires to ground G302.

When the RH Door Lock Switch is moved to "LOCK," battery voltage is applied from the LT BLU (195) wire, the contacts of the LH Door Lock Switch and the GRY (295) wires to both Door Lock Motors. When the RH Door Lock Switch is moved to "UNLOCK," battery voltage is applied from the WHT (194) wire, the contacts of the LH Door Lock Switch and the TAN (294) wires to both Door Lock Motors in the opposite direction. During RH Door Lock Switch operation, the Door Lock Motors are grounded similarly to the way they are grounded during LH Door Lock Switch operation.
