I got in my Max today and my passenger rear door lock won't lock. It won't push down manually either. Anyone run into this? Are the motors inside the door individually fused?

I assume the likely culprit is the door lock motor assembly inside the door, right?

Your guys thoughts... thanks in advance.

Sorry I don't know what to say about your problem. Speaking of door locks, my drivers door doesn't see the key anymore, so when I open the door, the factory alarm goes off. And the drivers door will unlock and lock B4 I open the door.

THE RESULTS ARE IN...

Well, got to the underside of my dash and also dismanteled the rear passenger door. Checked the wiring harness with a meter and it was getting voltage. I pulled the door actuator and took off the cover. I moved the gear back/forth, etc. It all seems to be fine. Put it back together and it works ok. Seems like it was stuck internally. I called Courtesy and my local dealer to get the price on a new unit (cuz I just know this one will die totally once I get the door all put back together) - about $170 - WOW.

Anyway, it was NOT the door lock timer but rather the actuator motor unit.

Hope this helps someone else!
