I have the old school auto locks (and really dont see the point..) The three passenger doors are about 1/2 second slower than the drivers. The electricity is slow ?

I would like to disable 'um. I tried to pull the fuse, but couldn't reach it. I think there is also a connecter under the console. Pull it apart and solve the "problem" maybe.

Is it the door's power lock switch(s)? Whups... I see that was already noted. How about the wiring where they tapped the alarm ecu into your car?

Stuck door lock button?

My rear door had this problem which resulted in a dead battery. So I would add a third vote to this.

Nope. I don't know where the short was, yet, because I "fixed" it by yanking the PDL fuse. Acuator was 'lectrolocked in the "lock" position on the ddoor, and discharged the battery just by powering the solenoid. I still have to whittle a trim stick and take the door panel off and figure out what shorted. May well be the alarm box circuit or the wires into the door. Or the switch internally shorted. Or conductive robot mice chewing the wires. Or, like sometimes, it's just those dang 'lectrons misbehavin'.

Not responsible for advice not taken...
