I shorted something... door locks not working. Help!!!!!!!!!

I was adding some led strip lights to illuminate my side steps then i was fiddling around some wire harnesses to check for a best possible area to splice my wires. I tried testing some wires with my dmm and i shorted something. Now my remote door lock/unlock doesnt work, i cant lock/unlock it from the door panel. Can someone help me please!!!!!!

 

Sounds like a fuse hopefully. Pop your covers off the fuse boxes and look for an accessory power with blown fuse and pop a new one in.

 

I Checked all the fuses. They all looked good. Unless there were hairline breaks that i couldn't see. Hope its not a relay.

 

Did you check both fuse boxes?

 

Yes. I checked above driver kick panel and engine compartment. Are there any other places where there's fuses? I hope its not a relay.

 

while you where fiddling around did you not plug something back in correctly? If all the fuses are good.. unless your shorted the door relay box out...

 

Soooooo guys, it was a fuse that i missed 7.5a. So i replaced that. Everything's good now. As for my lights, how can i hook up that when i open each door, each designated light would light up at that side step?

 

hope this helps... This should be your cargo lamp and courtesy switch wiring diagrams

 

Got it done. Will have a video/pic on the finished product......

Thanks.....
Since the door switches are the grounded type, i wired the (-) side of each of the strip lights so each one operated separately for each door.

 

Positive to a constant source

 

I only purchased the light strips from Amazon. Like these:

 

My apologies for necro-posting, but thanks for this! Saved my a$$ from buying a new remote module. I too was troubleshooting and let the sparks out at the junction fitting in the passenger footwell. A quick search found this and I checked all my fuses again... yep, 7.5A!

To be fair, it is nearly Halloween, despite the fact that Xmas is going on in Lowe’s right now, so necromancy is cool.

 

I can dig it for thread revival memes any time of the year.
