Re-posting this in the electrical section in hopes someone can help:
So I have this problem, the driver side front door lock actuator works fine (bench tested with battery) but I get no pulse of 12v to either wire during any lock or unlock command. I have a keyless module installed and it works fine with all the other doors including the rear hatch. I have tried jumping the wires as shown in the diagram posted here (the internal loop) http://binatani.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/door-lock-circuit-diagram-forester-1998.jpg and have also jumped the #4 and 5 wire on the small harness at the keyless module with no luck.
I get the following readings:
Rd/Grn wire: Ground at rest.
Lt Green wire: no ground continuity at rest.
so then i tracked this wire back to the keyless module harness where the wire is Lt. Green with a black stripe, there is still no continuity. i then ran a jumper wire between this Lt. GRN/Blk wire at the module plug and the door actuator plug. This made the actuator work in the unlock function only......
in this configuration i get a 12v pulse and ground in the unlock position (lt grn/blk is ground and rd/grn wire is 12v). But i still don't get a 12v pulse on the lt grn/blk wire,
any suggestions? where should i look for breaks in the wire? i have ruled out the keyless entry module i think, i took a jumper wire and grounded the ylw/red and red/white to pulse the lock and unlock.
thanks for any help :shrug:
