DOOR LOCK MOTORS no lock.

Bought a 2014 TUNDRA SST 224,000 miles but price was good. None of the door locks work but you can hear a relay or something clicking in the center of the dash when you push the lock button ? from what I have been able to find in the FORUM it's the motors in the locks. Should I start to replace or clean the lock motors or is there any other place to look? Fuse look good checked OK. Thanks for any help.

 

Easy check would be to use a test light or multimeter at the actuator plug to make sure that there is voltage getting to the locks. If you have voltage then I will give you a 99% chance that you have a bad motor. I have never heard of an internal actuator failure that was more severe than the little motor (I.E. the mechanism actually breaking). If you can get the motor open it is probably just gummed up just like any brushed motor will get with age and use, and you may be able to clean up the contacts and get a few more years out of it.

 

Thanks APalmTree its hard for me to believe all 4 out at the same time. Will do. I have only owned the truck for 2 weeks.

 

Just replaced my front drivers door on my 17.Very easy to do.It's a common Toyota issue on most Toyotas not just our trucks.

 

I mean its an issue.. but not sure if its a common issue.. my 400k T100 still has doors that are working and from what I an tell its an original part.
