Power lock and power window failure

[greenhill]

The power locks by the front driver seat have failed in my 2003 camry and the power windows have failed by all of the doors. I have checked the fuses and none of them are blown. What else could be wrong with the camry that the features have malfunctioned.

The window lock is not on and none of the power window switches work.

- Possibly. That's what I am trying to find out, but the fuses themselves are all fine.

relays. Check your relays, or have them checked. relays are cheaper than the entire lock/window unit.

My master switch failed, got replacement from salvage yard for $75. Dealer wants $350 for new one. Also the window/door lock fuse is a 30 amp fuse located behind the the coin box to the upper right corner of the blue relay box, it is hidden by the air conditioning vent tubing.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 1994 2-DR CAMRY. I DO NOT HAVE AN OWNERS MANUAL. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE FUSES ARE LOCATED.

Are you past the 3/36 warranty?

I just fixed my 90 camry with same problem yesterday.my fuses are behind the plastic cover on drivers side by your left foot.the fuse for my door switch was marked as gauge 7.5amp.knowing what i know now i would advise you to get a cheap tester with a light.one of those screw driver looking type and check if you get power to your switch or your connectors by the fuse box.1 should be blue 1 white.find a good ground for the tester,turn ign.on see if you get any power.check few different cables don't need to disconnect anything.if you are getting power,play with your switches while tester in place to see if the light on the tester gets brighter.if it doesn't, bad switch-if it does, bad connector or broken wire-no power,check your fuses and circuit breakers and relays.

What are relays? What do they look like and where are they located?

With my '03 Camry, I am having a similar issue. My driver's door ALWAYS responds to either power lock switch, and either keyless entry fob. BUT, it seems that as the day wears on, the passenger front and both rear doors stop responding to the unlock commands. All doors ALWAYS LOCK when they are supposed to, but usually I can only get the driver's door to UNLOCK.

Even if I use the Passenger front power lock switch, the only door that responds reliably is the driver's door. I have checked the fuses, and since they unlock occasionally, I know that they are sometimes getting the juice they need.

When I reprogrammed the locks to a new mode (always unlock doors when shifter goes into park), the locks worked correctly for a couple of hours. As the evening drew nigh, they completely stopped functioning - except for the driver's door.

ANY CLUES? I have heard about the relays before. How can I test them?

Thanks.
