I could be wrong but isn't there a circuit breaker for the power windows next to the starter solenoid? I didn't think that the door locks would be on this, too, but maybe they are. Check jrichker's wire diags. Or just check continuity on that breaker.

Dude, you paid 1500 for that blue coupe you were having trouble with the other day? That car looks pretty clean for that kind of money...

He's right on targent. The circuit breaker is a small metal box mounted on the starter solenoid. It is for the power windows and power locks.

i knew it was for the door locks, didnt know it was for the windows though. also, it is for the power lumbar. if you dont have power lumbar, the wiring is still under the seats. maybe a coin went in the plug.

yep i only paid $1500 for it,(see my car domain in sig) it ran out of gas and wouldnt crank back up and the guy was all mad and i said give ya $1500 for it and he said run it. so a big headache and about $30 later its running smooth as could be. and i found the trouble when i let my window down in the drivethrough water got in the switch i just took it out and blew it out real good with the compressor and it works fine now. im guessing that was it but my locks still arent working im gonna check the diagram and that little breaker and see what i can come up with. i will keep yall posted if the locks still dont work.

See http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=688337 for some excellent photos of the starter solenoid wiring and the circuit breaker. It is on the aft side of the starter solenoid.

getting power

ok guys i checked for power and have it all the way up to the switch and leaving it. i cant touch my multi meter to the wires on the unlock switch depress the switch and i get 12.4 volts the wires leave the switch and go to the lock actuator(im guessing) so i guess the next step is to pull the panel and see if the actuatoer has power. and if it is getting power to it then what? whats the chance both actuators went out at the same time? and if the wires dont leave the switch and go to the actuator could someone please correct me on this. but im pretty sure they do?

Have you been doing anything near the top of the driver side kick panel? The wiring connectors for both items are located there.

here are the wires that are getting power, and have power leaving them when i depress the switch. the red wire goes to my driver side door lock actuator and the pink goes to the passenger aide and when i hit the switch they both as previously stated have power leaving them but door lock actuator is kicking on on either side. could they have both went bad at the same time?

Is there a reset on the relay, or is it just a pull and replace part? Probably a silly question, since I don't see a reset on it, but worth asking if it ever happens to me.

Thanks in advance.

its a circuit breaker, and no, there is no button. it is automatic reset. if it doesnt, it needs to be replaced.
