Driver side door doesn't lock
 
Hello,

I am having issues with the automatic locks on the fob AND lock switch on drivers side door in my 06' equinox. his happened a year or so ago (I know, long time to let it slide). Every other door works, when I put my vehicle in drive, all other doors but the drivers side locks and same with park, all unlocks (but the drivers side was already unlocked lol). The door switch on the passenger side, works to lock and unlock all doors, except drivers. And lastly, the key fob works to lock and unlock all doors.... but the drivers.

Have any of you had the problem and found a solution or even know what the problem may be?

Any help is appreciated, TIA!!

If I interpreted that correctly, the driver's door can't be locked, but can be unlocked or rather you can hear it trying to unlock. After looking at the wiring diagram, the only thing that could cause this would be a bad Driver Door Unlock relay. The fact that the driver's door unlocks rules out a wiring issue. Try swapping the Driver Door Unlock relay with the Passenger Door Unlock relay and see what happens (both are located in the interior fuse block). If I'm correct the passenger's doors won't lock (but will unlock) and the driver's door lock will work fine.

broken wires in the door jam A-pillar are common. pull back the rubber loom and inspect. Or check for power and grd to the lock actuator...if power and grd are at the actuator...the actuator is bad. if no power and grd...check the door wiring.


I probably have replaced 10+ of the door wiring harnesses.

Yes, i pulled back the rubber and found about 5 cut wires, maybe it explains the back hatch not opening nor the driver window rolling down?
