Power Door Lock Fix
If anyone is interested I made a video about fixing the power door lock passenger side. I took the relays apart and sure enough the contacts are burned and it fixed the problem immediately. The video is on YT and call "

Just what I need!!! Can you please give me the name of the company you bought the relays from? Also, do you have the correct part number(s)? Knowing the part numbers would curtail the anxiety that comes with buying parts that look like, but don't function like, similar parts? I would also like to know where to get the solder sucker. Finally, is the scraper you used to remove the (was it silicone?) from the bottom of the old pins before you melted and sucked out the old solder a specialty tool? Do you know where to get it? Sorry for all of the questions, but this kind of work requires proper tools and specific parts. I don't want to ruin something else

I have ordered a couple of these to do the replacements. I got the parts from Digi-Key. Part number 255-1240-ND $1.72 each, here is a link to the relay http://www.digikey.com/product-searc...ds=255-1240-ND.
There is one mention in the video I do not agree with. It was mentioned to use a small drill bit to clean out the holes for the relay. Use the desoldering tool and iron to heat the contact from one side and suck the solder out from the other. This will prevent damage to the contacts.

Excellent video. I have helped many people do this with a link I worked on a couple of years ago and I will also provide this in the future as an additional DIY.
For others, the 3rd relay on the left top is the same type and is for the heated mirror. The larger one on the right is for the power windows and it is just one relay.
