2003 Yukon Passenger Side Electrical Lock Not Working

[Richardv]

FYI

 

I took the truck to my GM dealer and here is what they did for the fix:

 

"B RH SEAT/POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING - DIAG AND ADVISE (PASS FRT SEAT AND PASS FRT DOOR)

 

EM11 SCAN TEST AND INITIAL DIAGNOSIS. RECORD TEST RESULTS. REPROGRAMING MODULES, KEYS AND KEY FOBS EXTRA IF REQUIRED .5

 

REPROGRAM POWER DOOR MODULE .8

 

182138 THE PASS DOOR MODULE HAD LOCKED UP. MODULE BEGAN WORKING PROPERLY AFTER REMOVING PDM FUSE FOR A FEW SECONDS. FOUND NEW PROGRAMMING FOR THE PDM LOCKING UP. REPROGRAMMED THE PDM AND NOW ALL FUNCTIONS ON PASS SIDE ARE WORKING."

 

You need a GM scan tool to do this - they are about 3 grand. Unless someone can give me an idea of how to get my hands on a scan tool for a WHOLE lot less - this problem is not for the "do-it-yourselfer".

 

BTW - I did a bunch of research on the net - GM is aware of the lock-up problem with the passenger doors on these vehicle - just as they are with the intermediate steering shaft issue. Way to go GM! Why not just do the right thing and recall these units and fix them at no cost?
