Driver side lock and wiper problem

[reyscivic]

For some odd reason my driver door wont lock or unlock with the electronic button, also my wipers wont work on int, I have checked all fuses and still cant find the problem.

Pop out your door panel and check it out.

The same happen to my 01 RAV4 but I never got to it.

Clarify things for me a little more... The locks won't work with the remote and door switch? Will the locks work with the key?

If the power locks don't work with the remote AND door switch BUT work manually with the key, you need a new actuator for whichever side isn't working. They are fairly cheap but a pain to fix since you have to reach inside the door.

^ agreed same thing happened to me on a previous car. The passenger door wouldnt lock or unlock with the button and i had to just get a new actuator for it wasnt very difficult and pretty cheap.

Also, do your wipers work when you press the switch down and put it on I or II (I don't know the speed names lol)? If they do, your switch may be starting to get bad. Over age, the contacts start to get bad. You can take them out and use a Q-Tip with rubbing alcohol and clean them. If that doesn't work, you may need a new switch (assuming the wiper motor is fine).

ok here it goes, the driver front door will unlock and lock with my key only. no alarm or inside switch. all other doors work fine.
Now with the wipers it does not work on the #1 settings but works when i push the switch down and it does work on 2 and 3 speed. Also the wiper sparyer does work. I find it odd that both stoped working at the same time.

1. You need a new driver door actuator.

2. Try taking off the wiper switch and cleaning the contacts. It just sounds like the contacts are bad.
