My door locks have been cycling a lot lately. They've done it before but never as much as they do now. Regardless if the door is locked or unlocked they will first unlock and then lock. Some times it does it again, some times not. I doubt its the ignition going bad because that would cut the car off right? It does have a stock alarm system in it. I've never fooled with it, and 90% of the time I don't use it because sometimes it just doesn't work (as in pushing the unlock/lock button does nothing). It seems to do it a lot more when I'm pushing the clutch (my alarm box is zip tied/on a hanger thing above it) but I don't believe my foot is hitting it. Any ideas? I kinda just wanna take the alarm out, no use in having something I don't use.

This is the stock box under the seat:



I can't remember what the glass breakage box looks like. Seems like it has a dial on it for sensitivity, but I can't remember. If the problem isn't the alarm control box, it could be in the solenoid that sends the signal to the motors to lock, or even in the switch on the door. I'd check those first, as they are easier than removing the stock alarm system. I was going to attempt that on a project Celica of mine and changed my mind. Too many wires for me. laugh.gif
