Door Locks locking by themselves-Problem Solved Reply #17 – December 18, 2010, 01:43:30 PM Alright, well I've been screwing with this all morning. I found the remote start/door lock unit that Rayco car electronics installed, I unplugged every wire running to it, the problem persisted.I took the door panels off and unplugged both of the door lock/unlock buttons, the problem persistsI fished around inside the doors and unplugged both actuators, one at a time, the problem persists just with whatever door isn't unplugged. The drivers door makes a different noise than the passenger door, the drivers door unlocks itself, but it makes another electrical sound.I keep unplugging one of the relays from underneath the passenger seat to stop the door from continuously trying to unlock. I'm out of ideas now, I now know the switches are not stuck, but what else can cause this? Is there a central brain for the locks? Where is it? Anyone know what could be causing this now?

Door Locks locking by themselves-Problem Solved Reply #18 – December 18, 2010, 04:58:28 PM Well I found the problem. While riveting the patch panels in the floor a couple of weeks ago one of the rivets, or the pilot hole drill must have tapped some of the wires on the drivers side next to the kick panel. Two pink wires and a white with black stripe wire to be precise. Well the must have been in contact with each other, and the plastic coated was chewed away and this cause the doors to keep unlocking by themselves. I cut the bad section out and soldered them back together, retaped the harness back together and when plugging the relays back in...... Silence! No locks unlocking.So problem solved, I thank everyone for chiming in, another problem solved, another victory for Foxtbirdcougarforums! Quote Selected

Hey I suggested checking the wiring on the first page.... wasn't exactly last possible thing....LOL Glad you got it figured out. It drove me nuts when I had this problem with my Mark. It even killed my battery overnight. Quote Selected

I read about the grounding suggestion behind the door panel, which I checked when I took the door panels off. This was in the wires at the kick panel. But just the same. My battery was dying overnight too. Quote Selected

But I keep thinking that even though this busted ol' car isn't the prettiest, it isn't the fastest, and it got more problems than I can shake a stick at, I'll just keep plugging away at them, with the help of you guys, and I keep thinking about that $400 a month car payment I don't have. I figure if I buy another car, it should be new. With a warranty and all that, and until I can do it in cold hard cash, I won't. Quote Selected
