Chrysler Repair/Electric rear door locks

Expert: - 9/9/2011


Question
Some times the electric rear door locks will not open/lock when using remote or when using the door unlock/lock switch.  It is only the rear (both sides now, started with LEFT rear now it is both).  2004, Dodge, 3500, diesel, dually.  This started about six months ago.  How do I remove panel and lubricate the actuator?

Answer
Hi Frank,
Is this a Dakota, Ram, or Durango? If so I may have an answer from an '04 manual I have on CD and can copy and attach to an email. Let me know your email address by sending me a new question, mark it private (otherwise it is erased) and tell me which of those three it is, and explain how the rear doors/liftgate are laid out.

I specialize in Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, minivans, and SUV's for the model years 1982-2008 based upon my 50-year DIY experience, factory shop manuals and wiring diagrams. I offer fast repair advice to help you minimize repair costs by helping you diagnose and do it yourself. Problems with electronically controlled engines and transmissions as well as body wiring problems are my specialty.

I take questions one at a time between 8am and 10pm CT and attempt to answer within 20 minutes. "Maxed Out" means I am answering another question of otherwise busy, so try again later.

There are answers on file to more than sixteen thousand Chrysler questions at your finger tips: put a few key words in the "find" box (above) or click on "view past answers" for a chronological list of my q and a's. Don't use "Add to this answer" if you still have a question...ask it. As to trucks and jeeps I only have manuals for the '04-'06 model years.
