Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Normal Operation
The power door lock switch receives voltage from the battery junction box (BJB) on circuit 116 (RD/BK). The power door lock switch completes one of 2 circuits, circuit 117 (PK/BK) to lock the doors or circuit 118 (PK/OG) to unlock the doors, to send voltage to the power door lock actuators. The actuators operate in the lock or unlock direction based on the voltage received from the power door lock switch.
