I have a Cadillac SRX 2005 3.6L. The problem is that the driver door will not lock w/ the power lock, the driver side rearview wont adjust and the driver side window wont go down. The controls on the driver door work for everything else but the driver door. What the hell is it?

    How do I get to it and what is the solution? Do I replace the switch and/or the wiring to the switch? Difficulty level and approx cost?

  • c_howard0818 Sep 24, 2011

    And would that cause the rear view mirror adjustment to quit working as well? Also, the radio should turn off when the key is out of the ignition and the door is opened. Every door but the driver's turns the radio off when opened?

    I need to get this fixed right away. Can you please respond??

It sounds like a problem in the driver's master window control switch. That is where all the wiring comes together.The door and window gets controlled by same switch.If the switch is getting shorted then this problem occurs.The switch has connections in it, if particular connections gets short, then it will stop functioning few functions, but other doors windows will operate.--------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

  • raj somaiya Sep 24, 2011

    Yes that switch will cause the problem for rear view mirror adjustment also.------- The wiring from read view mirror to the switch also needs to be inspected.But window and door lock runs to through the same switch.----- Also you can test voltage to the switch, if it shows 12 volt then its faulty switch.Getting the switch replaced should help.-
    Thanks.Helpmech.

2006 Cadillac SRX. We taped the sunroof up on our SRX and now you can't push the key to unlock the doors or lock them, why?

If the sunroof hasn't completed closing or cannot be reset by the BCU the vehicle will assume it is open and will not allow the door locks to activate.

2010 Cadillac SRX- rear passenger door appears to lock with remote, however it will open and unlocks all other doors in the process. Actuator works and you can see lock button going up and down.

This appears to be a known issue. You need diagnostics with a pro grade scan tool computer. You aren't looking for codes, but data network issues or problems with the BCM. The cheapest option would be an auto electrician or alarm installer.

2007 SRX pedals, adjustable quit, front drivers seat and both heater switches All quit at same time what could have done this? Passenger power seat still works?

Electronic's ! drivers Power seat module , driver door module . Do you know anything about automotive electronic's ?

The heated seat module (MSM) controls heated seat operation for both the driver and passenger seats. There are 2 modes of operation available for heated seats; both the seat cushion and seat back heat, or seat back only heat. When a heated seat temperature signal request is received, the MSM will activate both the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. When the heated seat BACK ONLY mode button is pressed once the MSM will deactivate the seat cushion heating element and leave the seat back heating element ON.
The adjustable pedal system is controlled by the memory seat module (MSM).
your best bet , have a qualified repair shop check it out ! Could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes in door module , BCM etc...

Can you tell me why my liftgate will not lock using my keyless remote entry.all the other doors lock my vehicle is a 2005 srx cadillac

If it locks when using the manual switch inside the car, the problem is probably your remote. If not, your lock solenoid in the lift gate may need to be replaced.

All my windows operate fine from the driver master switch but the two rear windows will not work at all from window switches on each door. The passenger side window will roll down but will not roll up from...

it is probably the lock out switch or if your vehicle is equipped there is a child lockout switch on the door frame, open the door and look at the side of the door where the lock hits the frame and you may see a black button which locks the window control out

Front turn indicators don't work, on 04 Cadillac SRX

you may want to check the fuse for the signals and asfor the locked windows, it sounds like your window lock has either seized or the button is off track. In any case, replacement would be the best option.
