I am trying to get my bay door locks to working and thought I was almost there but now not so much. Do you have a wiring diagram that includes these door locks. 2000 Safari Continental Panther. If not perhaps you could direct me to where I can get this information. Thanks a lot. John Rowin
This is actually very simple to troubleshoot. You don’t need a wiring diagram. The circuit is from the the solenoid enabled bus bar in the drivers side front electrical back (power) through a reset-able breaker to the switch in the dash, that switch then runs power to the door locks. A simple way to test is take 12 volts and put it as the source for the dash switch try the locks, if nothing activates when the switch is pushed take the wires off the switch and apply power directly to the locks one at a time. Have someone listen for the click. All the locks will not be bad, they are individually wired. If nothing check the ground at the switch, still nothing put a clip lead ground on each lock and retest. If all that works you have isolated the failure to either the switch or the ground. Also you can have power on the switch but the relay can drop out when load is called for if it is weak. Start with this and let me know how this goes. I am sorry I didn’t check for this earlier. Very few people leave comments so I don’t check that regularly.
2000 Safari Serengeti electric awning will go out but will not stop. I can call up retract mode after it has kept running in the out mode and it will retract. It seems like the stop is not working on the controls . Is the rolled up on the top or bottom?
Larry, mine is a Gerrard awning and rolls out from the top. If you pull the side panel cover in your passenger cabinet nearest the front window, that is where the controller is. As a guess, you have a bad connector/wire or the control board is defective. I don’t know how the endpoint of travel is sensed. It maybe a current sense the way the quikee steps work.
