Problem overview

Some GMC Terrain owners report experiencing issues with power door locks malfunctioning, which can occur with both the remote and the button. These problems may stem from a dead or damaged key fob, leading to communication failures with the vehicle's receiver. Additionally, electrical issues, such as a blown fuse in the fuse box, can disrupt power to the door locks, necessitating a check of the owner's manual for the appropriate fuse and replacement if needed. Some owners may also find that a mechanic can diagnose the issue by listening for specific sounds that indicate whether the problem lies with the fuse, the power door lock switch, or the power door lock actuator. Seeking professional assistance for diagnosis and repair is advisable to resolve these malfunctions effectively.
