So on my '86 camino I have me door panels off and am trying to get all the power accessories working.
the factory power door locks have never worked. In fact I'm still troubleshooting - I had to run 12v directly to the relay to get the actuators to engage. for some reason that 3rd wire isn't providing constant power.
I did test the circuit breaker by replacing it with a different 30Amp fuse in my fuse box. no effect. I'm planning to run a permanent 12v source to the relay, but if anyone has input on what the root cause here may be or a easier fix let me know.
Here's the other lame part. Even with the new parts, the locks are too weak to lock/unlock. I lubed the heck outa everything mates, but maybe I need to do another pass. I had hoped the actuators would be much more powerful. I made sure they are aligned correctly and pushing straight up/down.
My hope is maybe the battery is a lil weak from all the various electrical testing I've been doing with the ignition switch on over the past couple weeks but I doubt it.
