The solenoids aren'd worn out or something similar. They simply are burned inside ! the coating / insulation of the wire is melted away and now the current makes it like JZD said - it cuts corners..also called short circuit ! Why ? because a relay was stuck and toasted the wire. If one is bad, the other one isn't much better because the are connected to the same relay. That's a common problem, do your homework and you'll find the problem and solution. simply mathematically said - the force F depends on current I and the windings N f ~ I*N if the currents takes a short cut, there may be a higher I but almost no N anymore... 5 bucks of copper wire and one or two hours of work and you're done. Elvis & 6548 with working power door locks ok...do you other guys have to mash on your Door lock switch to get it to work? I didnt think that was "normal" or working as intended...So along with having to tear down the door to fix my window problems, i figued i would investigate why the resistance of the door lock switch, also my remote control unit will lock both doors but will not Unlock the drivers side door, i figured (after inspection of the door mechanics) that the solenoid is worn out and needing to be replaced...when engaged it barely moved almost like the arm moves out and then back in....Just enough to move the pieces of the contact plate to lock the doors..it doesnt seem like it should be working like that. Have any of you had experienced that? I have not taken out the solenoid and inspected it yet, but i have been reading about some similar instances and wonder as well, if anyone has had thier solenoids "rewound" to give them back thier strength. I guess old age and or a combination of the old stock door lock module weakend the solenoids. Just wanted to know so i could possibly save 150 Bucks for a new solenoid. any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Raine M.
