Door lock quit working

[PATHRIDER]

hey guys is there any other fuse location for the doorlock on a 1993 pathy? My doorlock started acting goofy around jan..it will lock and unlock by itself sometimes when driving and theres times when I lock it through the switch itll lock and unlock by itself..same thing when I push down on the doorlock itself.

 

Any help is appreciated guys

Welcome back, have not seen you in a long time

 

 

There are no other known fuses that I can think of, but mine did the same thing when I first got it. It turned out to be the drivers door switch. Now keep in mind that mine is a 2dr, so it may be different, but since you mentioned pushing/pulling the drivers lock I am thinking that it's pretty much the same. (Moving the knob up or down unlocks/locks all other doors as well?)

 

The IC board inside the sealed waterproof switch cracks over time and loses connectivity either intermittently or completely. Usually it's an occasional problem before becoming permanent. In my case, the vibrations of closing another door or simply driving down the road would cause it to lock and unlock randomly. There is also a door lock controller that could be the problem (in 2drs it's located below the left hand triangular window) which had no effect when I replaced mine. It was the left hand door switch that was my problem.

Brian howzit going bud..Brian right? Ventured into a diffrenet hobby ..old school bmx Hope things are going great at your end

 

Im going to check that ic board and I have a spare one ( I think) switch it real quick. Moving the knob (drivers side) did lock/unlock the doors before but not anymore so it could be the controller..I think mine is on the drivers side inside the door panel just above the speakers.

 

Thanks for the tech info and ill check on it right now..Ill keep you posted

 

shoot I forgot my wife has a pathy too...hahaha...ill just pull here control panel real quick
