    I have a 2001 4 runner and all of the power locks are not working. I can feel the relay in the power lock module clicking and all the locks on all the door locks try to open/close but its like they dont have enough power. So they are getting a signal. Any ideas?

    I would replace the the lock motors being they are around 40.00 each on rockauto. If its not the problem you have 4 new lock motors to rule out and go from there tracing the wiring. That's how I do things.
