Congrats on your purchase!

Replacing your driver's door lock actuator should fix the issue of you not being able to open you cars door. These are usually a PIA to do, just a heads-up.

As far as you not receiving power, check your battery's voltage. If your sitting between 12-14V and still not getting power to the main harness, then you need to check all connections, connectors and run up and down your battery harness. Start with the battery connectors by ensuring that they are actually tightened on the battery. A lot of ppl overlook that.

Good luck!

thank you, I appreciate it. We got the door lock out. Currently trying to track down the power issue. I have a jump pack and have it on the battery. I started at the ignition and I have no power to the white/red wire. Went up front under the hood and found the relay closest to the battery and it has power. Then at the relay on the back of the driver shock tower it doesn’t have anything. There doesn’t appear to be any sign of rodents or anything front what I see. This is gonna be fun..
