Common Symptoms

Door locks cycling (locking/unlocking) on their own while driving
Power door locks blowing fuses when activated
Power door locks not working or completely dead
Zero voltage on the power door lock/latch system circuit — short pulls signal to ground

Possible Causes

Chafed or pinched wire in the power door lock/latch system circuit — wire insulation worn through, copper touching vehicle chassis/ground
Failed door lock actuator with internal short to ground — most common when the component gets wet or overheats
Corrosion in the electrical connector allowing current to leak to the connector shell/ground
Damaged wiring harness where it passes through a body panel grommet or near a sharp metal edge
Broken wire in the door jamb wiring boot — harness flexes every time the door opens, eventually wires break inside the rubber boot

Common Fixes

Scan vehicle with a professional-grade OBD2 scanner to read all stored codes and freeze frame data — note the conditions when the code set ($4-102 at shop, free at auto parts store for basic scan)
Visually inspect the power door lock/latch system wiring harness and connectors — look for chafed wires, melted insulation, green corrosion, loose pins, or rodent damage (often free to check yourself, $70 diagnostic fee at shop)
Repair or replace damaged section of wiring harness where short is located — solder and heat-shrink all connections, don't use crimp connectors on critical circuits ($186-218 depending on accessibility)
If door lock actuator is internally shorted, replace with a quality OEM or OEM-equivalent aftermarket unit ($80-500)
Clean all ground points related to the power door lock/latch system — remove bolt, sand contact surface to bare metal, apply dielectric grease, and torque to spec ($76-157 at shop)

Estimated Repair Cost

$100 – $600(typical range; varies by vehicle make and model)

These are estimated costs based on generic repair data. Actual costs may vary depending on your vehicle, location, and labor rates.
