electric door lock problem on 2000 LXI - luckyron1 - 02-16-2007 04:35
This happened at the same time. The keypad light stopped lighting when
we tapped in the numbers. The storage compartments locks still
lock/unlock using the pass code but the entry door deadbolt will not.
Upon entering the passcode, we can hear a click in the vicinity of the
deadbolt but it won't extend or retract. Luckily, the key works so we
can secure and get in and out of the coach.
What do ya think?

Replace the solenoid, you can get it at BB. There is a mechanical pass
through on those that connect to the solenoid, they will stick, but in the
end I had to replace the unit. Hardest part is taking the inner panels on
the door apart. The R&R is straight forward and also a good time to take
all the linkage apart, clean and re lube with a white grease, next thing
you know, the PM is done.

Hi Ron,
By process of elimination, from what you stated below; The keypad
works, the lock works with a key and compartment locks are working.
About the only things left are the unlock relay or solenoid (one of
which is what you hear clicking) and the possibility of loose or
disconnected linkage from the solenoid to the lock or a faulty
solenoid. Removing the interior trim on the door is straightforward
and this will allow you to see exactly what is happening inside. You
may have to destroy the wood plugs covering the screws if you have a
wood panel on the door. They are available at any Lowes or Home
Depot.

Thanks for the replies guys. That sounds like a winner. I've been
looking for a good reason to disassemble the door and finally clean up
the mechanism.
I wonder if I can get the part from someone other than BB?
