can u simply disconnect the battery? (I have a kill switch on my battery) -----Original Message----- From: gus@xxxx [mailto:gus@xxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 5:22 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Re: Trapped in a DeLorean? Yes, you can certainly be trapped in a DMC. The door locks are activated by rather large solenoids, controlled by the lock module. The module is under-engineered and the relays can stick when activated. This would keep the solenoids powered, and being very large they are impossible to overpower manually. Should this happen to you, you can: a) wait for the solenoids to burn up b) wait for the battery to go dead c) unplug the lock module, in the relay box behind the passenger or, buy the LockZilla, which replaces the stock module and restores proper function. Either way, the factory module failure is a matter of "when" and not "if" so you should unplug your module NOW until you can get it updated.

Is this really a potential problem, and if so, Is there a remedy? If so, what is it?
