Power door lock problem
I am sure this has been covered before but I could not find it on here. My power door locks stopped working on all 4 side doors using the lock/unlock button or the remote. The rear door works fine using either one but none of the side doors. I find it odd that all 4 side doors would just stop all at once. Any suggestions???? Where should I start 1st and what should I check 1st? I really need some help on this one.

Here is a pretty good article on fixing the door locks.

And again the one in our tech thread.

I guess you could burn all of them up if you held the lock or unlock button down for a long time like a stupid kid would do. The internal resistors break down over time from heat. The longer they are on the more heat. I would make sure you don't have some sort of global problem before just blindly replacing all the door lock motors. If there is no movement or clicking of the motors at all then you have some other problem. They will still try to move but weaken over time as the resistor ages and the resistance increases.
