Power Lock Switch: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota and 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The power lock system can be controlled by a two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed, single gang switch on a power lock and window switch bezel located near the forward end of the armrest on the passenger side front door trim panel. The power lock switch on the driver side front door trim panel is integral to the driver door module. (Refer to DRIVER DOOR MODULE ). The power lock switch is secured by integral latch tabs in a molded plastic receptacle on the back side of the power window and lock switch bezel so that only the switch paddle is visible where it protrudes through the bezel. The power window and lock switch bezel is secured by small metal snap clips within an opening near the forward end of the arm rest in the passenger side front door trim panel so that the switches can be serviced without removing the front door trim panel. An integral connector receptacle on the back of the switch connects it to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the right front door wire harness. The power lock switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the switch unit must be replaced.
