    Couple of stupid questions.

    So over the past year or so there have been a few things that have been bothering me, but not enough to ask for help with. So they are starting to get to me lol.

    Here they are.

    My driver side door lock, does not work. Well the remote does not unlock it, I have to unlock it by key. Ive replaced the part with all the window controls and door lock/unlock buttons on it but with no luck. So is there anything else that could be replace that could possibly fix this?


    Also, my heat works but the knob doesnt want to turn all the way, it stops about 3/4 of of the way to full heat. I think its something under the dash thats keeping it from going all the way, the knob and the cable that runs to the control is fine. Its what the cable runs to under the dash thats stopping it.

    Thats it lol

    do your power door locks work? from the switch?

    for the heater switch, has it ever been replaced? if the knob is misaligned then the cable will stop the knob from turning all the way.

    Could be the actuator for the door?

    Check the blend door?

    All power door locks work except for the driver door.

    How do I check to see if the cable is mis-aligned from what I can see it is in all of the tracks correctly, the heat works, its just doesnt get as hot as what I can remember. And I forgot to mention that sometimes it gets stuck on either hot or cold

    does the door make a noise when you try to unlock the door using power?

    as for the heater, disconnect the cable and turn the knob. see if you are able to turn it all the way. if no then the knob is misaligned. if yes, push and pull on the cable it should be getting hung up somehow.

    if you have a voltmeter you can connect it to the wires for the actuator and see if you are getting power when you lock and unlock the doors. that will help determine where the problems lies.

    Yea i also got the same problem with my driver side door lock too, wont unlock all doors either when you turn the key twice to the right. I thought i'd fix it sometime during this upcoming spring/summer.
