2G NO START, NO WINDOWS NO DOOR LOCKS

Ok, so after some research, and a little testing, I figured out the passenger window does not go UP because the master switch on the driver's side is not good. I took out the driver side switch, took it apart, cleaned all the copper connectors and relays, and put it back together. Now it works as it should. And, the passenger window goes UP and DOWN!! Yaay!

Also, I got the headlights working, they were disconnected, and one wire was tucked way up under the passenger side fender well. I had to hunt for it to re-connect it!

The power door lock switches are still not working. I found a relay in the center console behind the radio that seems to activate them when unplugged and plugged back in, still need to work on this one.

And, the starter was bad! I checked and it had power when the key was turned to START position. So I'll replace it with a good one.

I suck at electrical, this has taken too much time because of my lack of knowledge. oh well, now I'm really close to getting it started!

The left side door lock is the one behind the radio (right of the starter relay - diagrams show them reversed). The right side one is hidden behind the left rear passenger side panel (next to the larger keyless receiver).

Thanks for the tip!
But this is a very confusing sentence for me... could you clarify it by using 'driver side' and 'passenger side' instead of 'right' and 'left' side?
I'm lost... "left rear passenger side panel"???
Where is the keyless receiver located?:confused:
Please clarify,
thanks!
 
Left side in all US cars is always the drivers side (left/right is always looking toward the front of car). So that relay is behind the rear passenger panel on driver's side under the triangle side glass window (will have to remove panel). Here's a pic of it with the panel off.

But if you can, I suggest checking/cleaning the lock switch first (and unplugging and jumping the door locks to make sure they work - of course it's easiest to do this from the relays).

Excellent! thank you for clarifying! That is a clear picture and it is helpful.
I'll take out the panel next weekend and clean the lock switches on the door also.
I bought an aftermarket key fob that is supposed to work with this receiver. I'll see if that works also...
My GSX came without the factory key fobs.

cheers!
