2008 1500 silverado driverside door will not work with remote

Power actuator not working

Its the switches themselves..sometimes you can disconnect the wires, then reconnect them and they might work..( I did this to mine..surprise - they worked.?.) If they do not work after reconnection.. its new switch time..

Yes it is most likely a vacuum actuator there are more then one . They open and close little doors in the ducts to deriect air flow inside the ducts . They are not easy to get at in most cases however you should look at all vacuum lines going to and near the unit its controlled by engine vacuum . exhust all other opptions first before takeing the dash out . The problem could also be electrical check the control switches make sure the switch is not bad on one side . Spend some time looking and thinking before you start riping things apart. Good luck with it

Pull off the small triangular trim piece on the inside of the door behind the mirror. It is fastened with 3 quick connects that pop out. I won't break, but just be easy with it. After that, there are 3 nuts to remove and a wiring connector to disconnect. Reverse for reassembly.

Just unscrew it with a torx socket from the frame, screw new one in, close door a little bit, and look in there to see if it aligns with the door latch.

Can you get in the vehicle though another door and use the inside
handle to open the drivers door?

the car has gone into SAFE mode,just lock and hold down button(30 secs),then unlock and hold down button(30secs).try to use remotes only,as the car knows its you.....

no such thing as a gmc 1500 silverado

there is a vehicle speed sensor on the transmission and one on the rearend...have those two replaced and that should solve your problem

Your chevy uses two fuses for the system. The power lock actuators are on the 15 amp fuse inside the truck. The fuse for the switches (locks and mirrors) are under the hood. For 99 to 04 (I think those are the years) there is a TSB on replacing the 3 amp fuse under the hood with a 5 amp fuse because this is a well known problem of having these blow.

Your drivers side window is a different issue. If the rest are working your problem is in the motor or getting power to the motor. The wires that go from the body to the door often crack and break with the opening and closing of the door.
