[XJ Cherokee Common Problems and Fixes]

The problem with the lock wire was that a screw had gone through it. I don't know if that helps or not.

If I griund out the lock wire I can power probe and use unlock. And vice versa.

Update. If I ground out the wires coming out of the drivers door actuator then I can use a power probe and unlock and lock all the doors just fine. But the switches for the locks still won't work. Do I just need to replace the switch consoles? Or what?

I need help!

I have a 1998 jeep cherokee xj. The windows will work with the door switches, but the door locks will not work. Testing the wires coming from the drivers door actuator we were able to find out that the Orange (lock) wire was grounded out somewhere. We found the problem and fixed it. Still no luck. Nothing is working.

When trying to test it at the wires by the actuator themselves it used to unlock the doors, but now lock and unlock won't work. Please help.
