1. Verify the customer concern by operating the handles, locks, latches and mechanisms.
2. Before starting electrical diagnosis, check for mechanical binding by manually operating the door lock. Then operate the door lock system several times from each switch, while observing the operation of all door locks.
3. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
