U320 Entry Door Power Lock

When using the remote key fob to lock and unlock the coach, the entry door actuator operates in reverse of the basement storage actuators.  In other words if I click to unlock the basement doors the entry door locks and vice versa.  One of the items that the PO had repaired at FOT was the entry door actuator.  I'm guessing the tech reversed the wiring during the repair.

Is disassembling the entry door a major task?  One of my areas of weakness is taking things apart without destroying them!  I'm rarely patient enough to be gentle with the little hidden clips and things that hold panels together!!!

Would it be dumb to try to reverse the connections at a common relay panel without having to disassemble the entry door?  If I did that I'd add a sticky note to the drawing and relabel the wires at the relays.  Looking at drawing A-6966, I see that the entry door actuator gets its lock signal from relay R12 and it's unlock signal from a relay that appears to be in the storage compartments (if I'm reading the diagram correctly), but I'm not sure where the relays are physically in the coach.

Thanks,
Mark

You might be able to reach it by just taking the lock and the handle cover off as well as a few screws. But the old style actuators we plug in at the activator. The wires run out the side door so maybe you don't have to take it all apart

There are only two wires that run between the control module and the door actuator (green and white that run inside the black wire loom between the door and jamb),  so you might be able to reverse them easily at or near the control box which is located behind the passenger kick panel.

In my Ford F250, it was a simple matter of reversing the two wires.

Got it.  I'll give this a try.

Done!  Was able to easily locate the 2 wires behind the passenger kick panel and reverse them.  Works great.

Thanks, friends.
