My 95 started getting a little wonky about locking the driver's door. The acutator would thunk and all the other locks would cycle, but sometimes the fr. dside door lock would not pop up the button. The button was also VERY hard to pull up, but only sometimes. Also almost key breaking hard to key unlock the DFdoor. Note I have an aftermarket RDL and alarm (Viper, I think - no manual - PO stuff).

The other day, instead of one kathunk as they autolocked the doors as the car was shifted out of park, they stutter thunked. Afterwards, no pdl or rdl. Alarm still worked. Ddoor lock was VERY hard to key unlock. Checked the fuse and it was fine, and when I plugged it back in the locks thunked, once. Would not work again.

Next day, truck would not start. Dead battery. Got it jumped off and drove all day. Voltmeter normal at just under 14. Truck started all day just fine. Locks all samee, samee no work.

Day 3, dead battery again. Took 30seconds to fix.

You figure out how I "fixed" it.

good guess, but no. Still arms the alarm from 50yds away. PDL switch doesn't work, either.

Dunno, but my locks are crazy. I'm afraid to close the door with the engine running in case they lock themselves <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Not the switch. Note "fixed", meaning I half a$$ed it...

Mad, mine would do that too. Carried two keys at all times. That's "fixed", too.

Anybody else want to play?

Yeah, I'm going to get another key and tie it up under the truck. I reset the locks following scottie's instructions from eons ago and that seemed to work for a while. It also fixed the problem of other keyless zappers unlocking my truck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> I was forever returning to an unlocked truck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> The locks seem to go crazy if you don't use the keyless remote (the loop on mine broke).

I removed the 'noise' part of the alarm a year ago. It was always going off for no reason. Once when staying at a remote beach house the bloody alarm was going off every hour or so in the night <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> After the 3rd or 4th time I got a pair of wire cutters out of my tool box. That "fixed" it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

No, but getting closer. Alarm still works fine. Set it off every time I key unlock.
