This device has several known problems and should not be used. Not necessarily. The problems with the stock door lock controller stem primarily from it's being overloaded - the stock lock solenoids simply draw a LOT of power which the relays on the controller can't handle. If your module is currently working, it is a better idea to replace the lock solenoids instead of the control module. The stock lock solenoids are heavy, power hungry, and expensive at $110+ a piece if (not when) you have to replace them. For $100 total, you can get a pair of brand new linear actuators to replace the solenoids in both doors and some outboard relays to drive them - meaning your stock lock module will no longer be overloaded and should last the life of the car. This has the added benefit of reducing the strain on your door torsion bars & struts, reducing the strain on the electrical system, and it's a quarter the cost of replacing your lock module & solenoids. This kit is sold by www.delorean-parts.com as the "Wings-A-Loft Door Lock Actuator Upgrade", part #K2500DP.
