I have 2008 Chevrolet Silverado with locks that don't work. when you press lock switch all you get is a click from the relay inside int fuse box. can someone help me with this?
Andrew, the locks don't work from the drivers door or don't work from either door? It's usually the master control on the drivers door that goes bad and on a lot of them the switch on the passenger's door is wired through the drivers door switch same as with the master window control. I think you will find the switch on the drivers door bad.
If your relay clicks that's a good thing however you still need to double check it you see 12 v is going in on the small blades powering the coil making it open connect allowing higher amperage 12 v to power the motors they need a lot of juice .Unplug the relay you will need jumper wires and a cheap muilty meter attach the small terminals to the battery it will open witch will make the wider terminals connect and send power to the drivers door master control. I f you have power their its most likely a bad connection water snow salt you just have to take it apart they wiggle wires at connectors before you rip to much apart
