Subject: IML: 1969 Power Door
Locks!
Here’s a good question for you all. Power Door Locks! In my
’69 the locks will unlock but will not lock. I downloaded the factory repair
manual that I found on this web sight. The voltage all checks out per the
manual. I wired the one solenoid backwards in one door. I can now get that
solenoid to lock but not unlock. So, I think my solenoids are all working and
in proper adjustment. Voltmeter check shows I am only getting power to the
normal unlock side of the solenoids. I found the double relay on the right
side in front of the passenger door. I can hear both the lock and unlock
relays "ping" when I push or pull the lock button. My guess is that the "lock"
relay is bad. I saw that these two relays are joined together. What are the
possibilities of finding a factory style replacement? How about any
aftermarket relays that would work? Is there a way to "repair" this one bad
solenoid?
Thank in advance!
