Power Lock Harness -Solved-



Well, thanks for everyone's help. After disconnecting the harness, I
tested the solenoids to find them all in perfect working order!!! I
opened up the control box, and visual inspection showed no signs of
failure. (IE-relays not stuck, no burned out electrics). So I hooked
everything back up and it all works just like it should. Not sure what
happened here, but I think it was just a bad connection on the
lock-sense wire. One of the suggestions sent to me was the Chrysler
Starter-Relay modification on the DMCNEWS website. I plan on doing
this, plus adding a little mod of my own. If any of you have done this
before, I would like to here it. If not, you heard it from me first! 
Since I plan on sticking with the factory control unit, I still may
develop the problem of the internal relays sticking, which is what locks
you in or out of the car. I plan on re-wiring the "Lock Doors" light on
the center console, to not illuminate when the doors are simply
unlocked, but to light up whenever the solenoids are getting power. So
when everything is operating correctly, the light should flash for about
one second, every time you lock or unlock the doors. If the light stays
illuminated, then the internal relay is stuck, and I need to disconnect
the power before burning out a solenoid. Since there is also the
possibility of being outside of the car when this happens, so I may also
attach a cut-off switch somewhere outside the car. (hidden, of course). 
But this switch will not unlock the doors, it will simply cut-off the
power to the solenoids. I would like to hear some comments on this if
any of you are interested in what I'm doing, or if you have done this
before. Thanks for all of your help.
