Door Lock Actuator
CAUTION:
When performing the following test, use a circuit-protected DVOM. DO NOT apply power to actuator for longer than 5 seconds.
- Access, but do not remove door lock actuator, see DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Apply battery voltage and ground to door lock actuator terminals. See Figure and Figure . Actuator rod should complete its travel in less than one second. Reverse leads at door lock actuator terminals. Actuator should operate in reverse direction at same speed.
- Using ammeter in series, measure actuator motor current. Reverse leads at actuator terminals to measure reverse current draw. Replace actuator if current exceeds 6 amps.
