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.
Locks Don't Unlock Electrically When Using Key
If both doors do not unlock when one door is unlocked with a key, check voltages at unlock relay. Voltage at Orange and Yellow wires should be 12 volts, and at Black wire should be 0 volts. Insert a key in driver's or passenger's door lock and turn to unlocked position. Voltage at Yellow wire should drop to 0, and voltage at Black wire should increase to 12 volts.
