DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
POWER DOOR LOCKS
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) supplies
voltage to the fuse block from the 40 amp HEAD-
LAMPS fuse on circuit A3. Fuse 3, a 20 amp located
in the fuse block, supplies battery voltage on the F35
circuit to both door lock switches.
The ground path for the system is through the left
door lock switch on the Z8 circuit. The grounding
point is located at the instrument panel left center
support brace.

LEFT DOOR SWITCH OPERATION (LOCK)

When the door lock switch is moved to the LOCK
position, voltage is supplied on the P35 circuit to the
bus bar located inside the right door switch, lock
side. Battery voltage is passed through the switch to
the P33 circuit to the door motors. Grounding is pro-
vided through the P34 circuit for all door motors
back to the right door switch. The ground is passed
through the bus bar internal to the switch, UNLOCK
side, to the P36 circuit. The P36 circuit connects to
the left front switch to a bus bar, internal to the
switch, and then to the Z8 circuit. The Z8 circuit con-
nects to its grounding point.

LEFT DOOR SWITCH OPERATION (UNLOCK)

When the switch is moved to the UNLOCK posi-
tion, voltage is supplied on the P36 circuit to the
right door switch, unlock side. The battery voltage is
passed through the switch internal bus bar to the
P34 circuit. The P34 circuit then connects to the door
motors on the unlock side. Grounding for the
UNLOCK function is provided by the P33 circuit.
The P33 circuit conects back to the right door
switch, LOCK side, and passes through the internal
bus bar to the P35 circuit. The P35 circuit conects
back to the left door switch, and passes through the
switch to the Z8 circuit. The Z8 circuit goes to it's
grounding point.

RIGHT DOOR SWITCH OPERATION (LOCK)

When the switch is moved to the LOCK position,
voltage is supplied to the P33 circuit, and then to the
door lock motors. The ground path is provided on the

P34 circuit back to the right door switch. The ground
is passed through the switch internal bus bar to the
P36 circuit. The P36 circuit connects to the left door
switch and through to the Z8 circuit. The Z8 circuit
then connects to the grounding point at the left cen-
ter instrument panel support.

RIGHT DOOR SWITCH OPERATION (UNLOCK)

When the switch is moved to the UNLOCK posi-
tion voltage is supplied to the P34 circuit from the
switch to the door UNLOCK side of the motors. The
grounding path is through the LOCK side of the
motors, circuit P33, back to the switch. The ground
continues through the internal bus bar of the switch
on circuit P35 to the left door switch. At the left door
switch, the ground passes through that switches
internal bus bar to the Z8 grounding point.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
• Check the 40 amp fuse in the PDC.
• Check the 15 amp fuse in cavity 3 of the fuse
block.
• Check the grounding point on the instrument
panel left center support brace.
