Whу wont mу door lock actuators work іn mу 1989 Ford Mustang GT? I cant find a listing fοr a fuse, аll fuses аrе ехсеllеnt, nο listing fοr a relay аnd switch works. I bench tested both actuators аnd both work well. Anу thουght wουld bе greatly appreciated.
Their has to be a relay everyplace in order for them to work Try looking under the hood
The door lock actuators are like small electric motors, and, like electric motors, they wear out. They might sound okay on the bench, but not have enough torque to do the job.
Just for fun, temporally wire a car light bulb in one of the plugs, push the “lock” button, and see if the bulb lights.
I’ve seen an ad from one of the larger Mustang parts sellers, where you can get two actuators collectively, cheaper then just buying them one at a time.
because its a ford(fix or renovate daily)
