Relay Solenoid Keyless Entry?

I pulled my driver side door panel off to replace window. Put it all back together but now:
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
  • My remote will not unlock the drivers door
<o></o>
  • My keyless entry door-pad code will not unlock any of the doors – I must point out that if I listen closely.. I do hear a “click” sound. It makes the small “click” sound that a solenoid does on an old car when you have a dead battery…???
<o></o>
  • My “interior-driver-side-door-panel-lock-button” will not lock the driver side door…
<o></o>
  • Is there a solenoid or relay somewhere that might need to be replaced? I double-checked all connections after I reinstalled my door panel.

dont know what year of truck you have but my 99 has 3 solonoids under the dash on the passangers side under the big oval on the dash it justs pops up those control the key pad and key fob and dool locks inside they sell for about 15.00 each but if your as tight as i am you can clean the contacts inside the relays with some 1500 grit sand paper. after cleaning mine sofar they worked for over a year but if they before you replaced the window i would ck all wiring in the door

I assume everything worked before you took the door apart?? If so, it's more likely that it's something simple like the ground wire was removed and not put back or broke off.
