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.

check the wires underneath you...maybe it is loose...especially if you have an aftermarket alarm...

i will check it.. i dont have an aftermarket alarm though.. also i did change the battery.. i dont think that would have anything to do with it though.

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.

try removing and disconnecting the switches from the doors. check to see if the contacts are okay then put it back together. Sometimes the simplest things do the trick

if that doesn't work I can send you a link to the rs3000 alarm manual. you might just have to reprogram the system. Dont worry, thats easy too

It sounds like either an issue with the ground or the relay.

my doors would do that from time to time before i got an alarm installed hold the handle as if you were going to open the door and then unlock it or lock it while you have it held that usually fixes it
