The problem you describe is either door lock/unlock actuator(s), or could be wiring to the relays (door lock relay and door 'unlock' relay. The best advice is have this problem properly diagnosed bya qualified/certified Hyundai Service Technician. OR

Go to www.hmaservice.com and register your vehicle by VIN #.. you'll then have access to wiring diagrams, shop manuals, service bulletins, illustrations and procedures, etc

Just put new window switch in drivers door Alfa gt jtd but Windows don't work do I need to reset something

I had a similar problem in my 03 Spider. The wiring loom for the window switch and motor comes out of the front pillar and in through the edge of the door. Every time the door opens and closes the wires in the loom flex. I had a broken wire in this part of the loom.

How do i fix power windows on 2001 chrysler sebring

if no door or window switches work in entire car start by checking FUSES , then by spraying compressed air into the switches on the drivers door panel whilst moving switches back and forth. then spray some WD40 or electronic componet cleaner into edges of switches whist moving switches hoping they come back to life. then pulling open drivers door rubber harness cover where it enters car. look for wires in the loom that are cracked and broken. this is likely.as wires bend each time door is opened. then remove drivers door panel and test then remove loom connector from door frame and use OHM /volt meter to find broken wires or switches in drivers door problems in drivers door. check for voltage at window motor first. . buy whole new door panel with wiring harness and switches at Pick n pull. if that does not work ..buy a haynes manual and look at wiring schematics. NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER BUY NEW PARTS.

All drivers door controls have stopped working

Hi. Best guess is the door loom. Open the door and there is a rubber grommet between the body and the door where all the wires run. The wiring can break inside the rubber grommet so you have to unclip it from one end and gently pull it back to reveal as much of the loom as you can. If it looks ok gently pull each one in turn and see if any come loose. Jon.

Reset computer

If you pushed the car by the door itself or swung the door open hard, you could ha e stretched the door harness and pulled wires apart. There is a little accordian styled boot that 'protects, the wire loom leading to the driver door electronics. I wonder if you have noticed your alarm horn doesnt beep when locking the doors from the remote. Or you can only lock and unlock the driver door only from the driver door. If thats the case there may be an open in the wires leading to the door lock actuator; which controls things like lock/unlock functions of all doors and windows, door warning lights, etc. Have the harness repaired

Wiring Loom between door and body breaks internally. Take the car to an Auto Electrician and they can repair the loom. It is quite a common problem.

Rear power windows do not work either down or up

the most likely cause is the wiring harness in the driver door has broken wires,the master switch for all the windows goes thru the driver door and so do all the wires,the wires get week and break after many door opening and closing and breaks the wires,you will need to remve the door loom in the corner of the door when you open it at the body,the wires are in there,,,,,check that first,you may need to cut open the rubber loom to check it,,,,,if thats not it maybe you got 2 bad window regulators

04 jeep larado/windows will not open or close

If all fuses etc check out, look at wiring harness inside loom that is located near door hinge area of drivers door for bared or broken wires. Not uncommon for wires to get ruined especially at drivers door, as it is opened & closed the most.
