Here’s the shot of the control board. I plugged the harness back in without the cover on and could feel the left middle relay closing when the doors lock.
Looks like it’s an OMRON G8Q9-05.
I already live in a desert but you did get me thinking about wet contacts so I pulled the driver's door switch panel to see if that helped. The doors continued to lock on their own with it unplugged so that wasn't it.
I also read about the wiring in the rear hatch cracking and causing shorts...
Thanks everyone, found the alleged culprit using a guide in this thread: Body ECU test bad, or does it?
Looks like he had a different control board that my truck.
The case continues... Gonna see if you can get a whole new control board or if I can just replace the faulty relay.
Just posting in hopes someone on this thread is still around.
I’ve been dealing with some door lock gremlins that I chased all the way to the BCM control board as well. Bruiser’s post on removal was fantastic but now I am staring at a control board that looks like no other.
It seems I don’t...
Hope this thread isn't too dead.
I am having some very similar symptoms as OP did in my 99 SR5. My door locks all go on and off at random, sometimes once, sometimes as many as 10 times. It happens even with the key out and after the truck has been parked for days.
Sounds like OP fixed these...
Yeah I ordered a set of those but after some more careful analysis I decided to go to a pick and pull and get a whole axle housing and replace that. Not a whole lot more expensive and better peace of mind.
Hey! just the guy I was looking for!
Recently found out that my passenger side upper control arm mount is cracked (seems like an epidemic).
If I got you a set of dimensions and a sketch could you fab one up? more than happy to pay.
