hey guys.. my door locks just started acting up tonight. here are the symptoms.
i open my door with the key.. i press the unlock button to let the passanger in.. the door unlocks, but then locks right away.. i manually unlocked the doors and then press the lock button.. it doesnt work. when i press the unlock button. it will unlock but then locks right after. i know its not the door jam buttons, because i went on both sides and pushed them in and out a few times to make sure they were not stuck. if anyone could help me out that would be awsome. -------------------- It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road.

I might be wrong, but i think our door locks are activated by a ground pulse. You may have a short somewhere along the line. To test, get a volt meter and see if you get any voltage at the switch. If its a short, look at the drivers kick panel, thats where most of the wiring is located and has the highest probability of being damaged because it sees the most traffic.
