Door lock actuator issue


Recommended Posts

Hi all, my 2016 1500 chevy silverado lt had 3 door lock actuators were inoperable or making noise. Common issue,ordered 4 new lock acuators from Gruven parts and put 3 in. They work great but noticed drivers door when opening or closing will not turn on or turn off interior lights and also radio stays on when closing door. Sounds like a bad door switch to me which is in the latch I believe. Thinking I caused the problem since it worked fine before. Went back in the latch and all looks fine. Was hoping to see a gear out of place or something, but looks ok. Anyone have some insight on this. Maybe a door schematic you can share to check the wiring. Thank you in advance

Thank you silveradosid. Was not receiving the signal  that door was closed. Went back in on the drivers door actuator. Removed all the t10 screws and found a micro switch, the small metal tang that pushes on the micro switch was bent funny and not making contact. Also black plastic peice in actuator. Needed to rotate up so in proper position. Put all back together and now is shutting off interior lights and radio when opening door.
