Driver door will not lock or unlock, no courtesy lights


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 2010 silverado 2500hd. I am having an issue with
the driver door lock, all the other doors lock and unlock just
fine. I found a broken wire in the rubber boot between the
door and the cab and fix it accordingly. I looked up what
fuses if would be and i replaced those, all was well for
about a week then I pulled the panel off and put new
speakers in and tightened the metal plate behind the door
panel. Then it just stopped again. So I pulled the door panel
off again and found the wire i had previously fixed was
broken again so I pulled the entire harness and soldered
the wire. Put everything back together with no luck. Now,
the BCM doesnt even recognize the door being open or
closed (courtesy lights no longer come on when I open the
door.) I bought a new actuator thinking that was the issue
plugged it up to test before removing the old one, still no
luck. I used a DMM to test for voltage at the connector to
the actuator and the connector that goes to the switch. I
have a constant 11.4 volts at the switch and at the actuator
connector. However, when I push the lock button, the
voltage drops anywhere from 1volt to a 11volts. When
press the unlock switch the voltage drops maybe a half
volt. I was told that the switch is grounding out some
where, but i have no idea where that would be, all the wires
in the harness appear to be in good condition, I tested the
ohms in the harness and everything checks out, no broken
wires. I was thinking that maybe the relays in the I/P
junction box are going bad, but i really dont know. I can lock
and unlock all the doors from the driver switch except the
driver door. Doesnt work with the remote either. Does
anyone know where or what else I should check? Anyone
else ever have this issue, if so, how did you resolve it? Any
input or insight is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    • Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol    
    • You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !
    • This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.  
    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
